St. Croix Preparatory Academy Upper School Reviews
Rating 3.87 out of 5 154 reviews
Since starting at St. Croix Prep in kindergarten, I have grown as a student, athlete, and member of my community. Through the excellent support of my teachers, I have learned that I can be a self-sufficient student as well as ask for help when I need it. Through the flexibility of my teachers and coaches, I have balanced being a top student in my class as well as an accomplished athlete. Finally, through the values St. Croix Prep places on service and integrity, I have learned the importance of serving my community in and outside of the school environment.
The teachers of St Croix Prep are very enthusiastic about their subjects and put a lot of work into making lessons more engaging and interesting. I did have issues with three teachers during my time there and that is three too many. I've heard about the rules getting stricter though and I feel like it doesn't fit the previous atmosphere of the school. I love the Track and Field team and there was a lot of work put in to make sure that kept going. Since it's charter middle school and upper school would have some school activities together which was actually really fun as I like getting to know them. My own personal disappointment is that they only had a dance team and not a cheer team, as I always wanted to be involved in one.
SCPA is truly a small community, but this doesnt mean there aren’t opportunities. I believe the best part of the school, BY FAR, is the teachers ans staff. They are excellent. Second, I would say the range of coursework opportunities (AP+Honors). Oftentimes, it seems there is a lack of wide or diverse perspective however. This is simply because the school is amidst a couple of suburbs- so this is understandable. Through and through the school has plenty of opportunity to grow and expand. Especially when it comes to STEM. Science and Math Club galore.... art on the other hand is less represented and strong. Many people go on to Business or STEM at this school- but it isnt unheard of to see people go into Humanities. Overall, SCPA’s limitations and boundaries are offset by the faculty and numerous opportunities about. School is what you make of it- and SCPA is surely a place to thrive if you give determined effort!
