St. Andrews Lutheran School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-05-26 “St Andrews pre-school is known to be academically sound (as is the rest of the school's curriculum). Many parents do enroll their children in the pre-school program to give their children an edge; knowing they are unable to continue a private education. For those who are able, St. Andrews' eighth graders consistently are accepted into selective enrollment high schools due to outstanding test scores and grades. It's a Christian-based education that fosters lasting friendships, and prepares children to make good decisions by encouraging a strong sense of selfworth.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2009-05-17 “The school is nothing to write home about. We also left the school. The programs are set up for an average child. If your child needs anything extra because they are gifted or have special needs, this shcool is not able to provide the needed materials. I think the discipline is less than effective. Much happier in another school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-04-27 “We completed 1 school year at St. Andrews. I think this is an average school but nothing special. I have learned that many of the children do not stay past early education. They frequently transfer to Park Ridge public schools. Although the school is based in Park Ridge most of the families come from Chicago. The office staff can be less than friendly. The teacher we experienced lacked creativity. If you are considering this program, ask them about student turn over in the early childhood programs. We had a small class and about 5+ families did not come back. There were other concerns with the class room. It is not what the parents writing these reviews would have you believe.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-09-19 “I am absolutely 100% happy with every aspect of this St. Andrews ! Every teacher is wonderful, the class sizes are kept small, and the communication is best I have ever experienced. Do NOT hesitate to send your child here, they will excel!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-02-18 “This is our 3rd year at St. Andrews. There is a strong focus on the child as a learner/human being (without being overly zealous). Bullying is not an issue as each child is made to feel as part of the school community and therefore develops good decision making skills. Older children look out for the younger children - younger children look up to the older children. There are inter-grade friendships among the students due to common field trips/chapel buddies/extra-curricular activies. This is unheard of in the public schools where students just don't play or even 'associate' with kids in different grades. There is high parent involvement and no pressure. There aren't 'cliques' among parents as I've seen at other private schools. St. Andrews is a wonderful school where everyone is welcomed (we're Catholic) and students come from Chicago, Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Niles etc;” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-02-16 “St. Andrews is one of the best school with nice teachers that can be strict and caring whenever they need to. We have great extracirricullar progams for students like basketbal, volleyball, track and field, and cross country. Also, we have fun field trips, projects, and classes” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-01-22 “I couldn't be happier-we transferred our children from the local public school and their progress has been amazing! The quality of teachers is exceptional. The teachers create a loving and caring environment in which to learn. The level of parental involvement is high. Class size is small which allows the teachers to know each student on a personal level. The arts, music and sports activities rival those of other schools the same size. Students leave St. Andrews prepared for success in high school and beyond.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-01-04 “I have had two children enrolled in St. Andrews School since 2001. We chose this school over several others for several reasons: Graduating students have an exceptional academic placement in high school and beyond. The caring, competent teachers do an excellent job educating the mind and developing the character of the students. Parent involvement is higher than other schools I know of. Sports opportunities are sufficient, but perhaps not as broad as local public schools. However, the students have a very high level of engagement with the teams (Community based opportunities exist for sports like baseball and football.) There is an annual school play as well as numerous music and art programs throughout the year. St. Andrews educates students not only in academic subjects but also in Christian life and the development of good citizenship.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 5 2006-12-21 “Great teachers, small classes, string orchestra program. Involved and dedicated parents and staff.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2006-06-02 “great school, clean people, good kids, strict”
