1/27/2025
Great school if you're ready for a lot of work and college prep. Definitely a great school for college prep.
10/7/2024
Nova is a high-quality environment for college preparation and academic rigor. The teachers actively engagingly challenge students and students regularly make notable achievements. However, there can be an air of ego present within some students, often resulting in a notable dynamic that can cause some to feel somewhat inadequate or less than in comparison to their higher-scoring peers.
9/25/2023
Highly abusive to students. Upper staff encourages racism, claiming they don't "cater to tokenism." Faculty does not listen to students, and fires any staff that stands up against anything. Do not under any circumstances attend or work at this school.

My son graduated several years ago and is set to graduate college this spring and my daughter is in the middle school. Nova has been a fantastic experience for both of them. The school's academic program has challenged both of my children; allowing them to take advance coursework (for example my son...

If you have a gifted and talented child or a child with special needs, Saint Paul public schools have great resources available. If you have an average student and concerned that they will get lost in a large school environment, invest in private school education (some have scholarship programs to h...
