GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love how inclusive the overall community is. I also love that while there is a very strong push for academics, they still leave some time for fun. However, the school board system is as spectacular as it should be. The parent representatives are extremely opinionated, scaring away teachers from wanting to be on the board. This system needs to be changed somehow in order for there to be better policies passed for the school.

I have loved my time at St. Croix Prep and wouldn't give it up for the world. The small community has become a huge part of my life and something that isn't for everyone but definitely was the right choice for me.

There used to be a lot of great teac...

Our two daughters are enjoying their experience in the high school at SCPA. Their classes are rigorous and well taught and the curriculum is rich in the classical tradition--just what we wanted. Coming from a classical private school that was $8,000 per year per student, we were very pleasantly surp...
