School Reviews

This school provides a loving and caring home for my child. I could not be more pleased with my choice in a school. The teachers always have the students best interest at heart and are eager to help when needed. The students who graduate from St. George are active members in the community such as Doctors, Mayors and Principals of other learning institutions. My student has a strong footing going into highschool and his scores on the ACT Aspire are strong and support his report card grades.
