no one talks about bullying, if you talk to them about it, they just say "don't worry we will deal with it" I literally was told to die or kill myself and all I got from the person was an apology sideshow that didn't even get sent to me, so I don't even know if he actually wrote it. Also, when I was in the school play, they focused on gender roles, all of the delicate characters where female and all of the monsters where male, it was so disrespectful, they always talk about "being inclusive" and to "stop bullying" but when something actually happens, they never do anything! Other students have also gotten food poisoning from the food, my friend refuses to eat it because she is afraid of getting food poisoning again!

I HATE THIS SCHOOL! Most of the teachers don't care about the student's well-being and force their own political agenda onto the kids. The lunches are horrible and a few kids have gotten food poisoning. There have been problems with vaping and drinking. The kids here disrespect both teachers and other kids who are just trying to get through the day. There is a HUGE problem with bullying and harassment that has not been addressed. Overall, I don't like this school and I have been trying to find another school to go to for over two years now. If anyone has recommendations, I'm all ears.

I would NEVER recommend St. Anthony Middle/High school to anyone. The teachers have talked bad about their students behind their backs, and after violating many rules, the district does nothing about it and everything just gets covered up. Principal Kujawski makes a huge deal about the "RIDE" (respectful, in-place, digital citizens, engaged) expectations, but whenever any of those rules get violated, nothing happens. A student could be placed in a group with another student who they have previously been bullied or harassed by, but the teachers will choose not to accept that fact and will continue to get upset with the student for not wanting to work with a group and/or not contributing to the group. Much more could be said about this school, but I will not waste my time for a school that has ruined my child. Please do not choose St. Anthony unless you want to see how sad and down they are, along with a side that you wish no parent to ever see!

I chose this school thinking that it was one of the best but clearly, I was wrong. The teachers have an attitude towards the students. There are a few good teachers but the rest are not properly trained. They don't listen or care about the students. Don't even get me started on the wifi. It breaks down every day multiple times. This school is so trashy and broke and does not live up to any expectations. Also, my child says that there are always so many disruptions over the loudspeakers over the day. I'm disappointed in this school. If I could give it a zero I would.

I am very disappointed how this school is ran. I came to middle school with average expectations and they don’t even half match. at this point i’d rather go to a christian private school down the road then go to this trashy place. No one cares about bullying, and not to mention the teachers have been becoming more and more racially motivated. They say “ we will seriously investigate all reports” then the don’t care at all. it’s all for show. If your going to send your kids here… don’t

very poorly run. the wifi works as if there are hamsters running on wheels to operate it. not only does the wifi suck, but so does the education system. i promise you that the office does not care about the problems you are facing and will just push it away. bullying is always taken lightly. never is there a time when they actually take you seriously. there are a handful of helpful teachers, but some will shame every thing you do. teachers are clearly not properly trained as the way they chose to punish students is horrible. and let's not get started with the filthy bathrooms. the school should invest in some auto-flushing toilets, since students clearly do not know how to flush after using the bathroom. it's nasty. overall, i would not recommend this school. there are many other schools out there that will actually care about students. thank you for your time.

Bad. I never should have moved to St. Anthony. What was I thinking?

The level of political agenda at this school is bizarre and a little surreal? The principal and superintendent seemed really nice at first but as I've got to know them I am very concerned about what is happening with my sons when I am not there. Moving here may have been a mistake. :(

Unexpectedly Bad. I moved here for the schools and mortgaged myself deeply to do so. I should have stayed in Minneapolis!

While there are some really great teachers at this school who focus on teaching, there are also many teachers who feel the need to infuse their social and political agenda into their lessons and homework on a regular basis. I realize that this is a problem everywhere but it doesn't make it right.
