Twin Cities German Immersion School

• Public School
• Saint Paul, MN
• K-8
• 2 reviews

Middle School Student: I am a student in 6th grade as I'm writing this and I recommend this school but I would start early so if your coming here at my age knowing no german than thats may be a bad idea because it a new language were fluent in and you wouldn't know one word. If you like a Waldorf style of school this is probably not the school for you as here we do do tests and focus on academics but do events as in service learning, which I'm in, today we went to an event called WE DAY a empowerment non-profit organization to make the world better with our youth. Our school is very very very accepting of all cultures and backgrounds. If your happy with who you are then were fine with it. The one thing is are school is not that diverse..... were mostly white..... but where ale exerting and racism is not tolerated at our school. We encourage to feel welcome. So are school in my mind is amazing. So think about enrolling.

Parent: Highview is an excellent middle school with a lot of educator focus on science and math. Tons of parent involvement and opportunities for the parents to volunteer and be involved. Clubs and activities are abundant and class sizes are small. We absolutely love this district.

Parent: I have two kids here and the experience has been wonderful. The best G/T program in the district. The earliest start time is sort of a challenge but getting out at 2:00 is great.

Woodbury Leadership Academy

• Public School
• Woodbury, MN
• K-8
• 11 reviews

Works Here: I am currently a teacher at Woodbury Leadership Academy (WLA) and I love it! The students try their best and ask for help and the families are amazing. Whenever I need a volunteer to "stuff" book baggies, someone will volunteer or if I am running low on tissues or supplies, a student comes in the next day to replenish. I love the family feel at WLA!

We are always looking at our curriculum to make sure it meets the standards so kiddos have the tools and knowledge to be successful.

The administration at WLA is amazing. They are accommodating and always keep us in the loop of events and assemblies. Whenever we need anything, we just need to ask and they will find a way to get it!

Alum: It was good a good middle school, however I feel like it didn't prepare you for high school like it should have, or how college would realistically be like. Taking PSEO really showed me that college is much more lax and independent whereas they made it seem like you would be walked every step of the way.

Niche User: Laura Jeffrey Academy is a tremendous school with a learner-centered focus and a positive environment for all students. The STEM focus works throughout the curriculum and the girl-focused environment lets girls be themselves, as smart and geeky as they want to be, without being self-conscious. The boys, and there are boys at the school, clearly feel like they belong as well and are learning positive messages about how to respectful to everyone in society.

Skyview Community Middle School

• 4 reviews

High School Student: I've had so many great opportunities here at Skyview it's just unbelievable! I was able to compete in very many competitions to challenge my math skills, geography skills, and other areas. Also in 7th grade, I got to see President Jimmy Carter give a speech at the Augsburg College through my school! Also, I got to see a play at Park Square Theatre in Downtown St. Paul, which was literally the best thing I've ever seen! Skyview is just such a great place, it's pointless to come to a tutioned school, when you come here.

John Glenn Middle School

Works Here: It’s a wonderful diverse community. I felt that my voice was being heard when I needed something. While I went to John Glenn Middle, I was new to the community. Though I was nervous, I felt very welcomed and accepted into the community. I felt very safe in the environment, and I felt safe because of the teachers reassurance. While I was also being taught, I gained very beneficial knowledge that I still use today. Now being in high school, I’m reflecting on my middle school years, and looking back, I enjoyed it very much. School wasn’t too pressuring and while I was learning, I enjoyed going to school. I wasn’t overly stressed with piles of homework. I was able to enjoy my youth while getting my education.

Maplewood Middle School

• 1 review

Middle School Student: This middle school is a great school, this is because they care alot about the student's point of view. The staff also bend the rules, *ahem* sugar nutrition*, but the school is very fun. I rated it 3 stars because of students in the school. The students have started acting roughly towards the staff. Although the student's have fun, they sometimes can't handle even the simplest jobs of sitting. I don't wanna speak the bad, but it has to come out someday though. But another reason this school is great is because despite everything in the school. Everyone helps one another in the school, regardless of age or race, or anything. In conclusion, this school is great, and I'm very sad, having to part with it.

Works Here: Here, teachers really care about the learning of students and spend time to develop thoughtful lessons for classes. Students are very diverse and are accepting of one another. Students have electives to participate in such as advanced French, band, choir, art and music, and other programs include a partnership with Urban Boat Builders that has seen the school hand-build five watercraft in the last three years and the REAL Leaders program that provides mentorship to African American males. After school, a full range of sports teams as well as the "Flipside" afterschool program provides a fun break from the academics. The school also has a dedicated ASD program and provides a setting 3 EBD program for students with greater emotional and behavioral needs. Three on-site social workers and a guidance counselor enable the school to really support students in achieving individual success.
