St John’s School

I love this school for my kids. Education wise the school has so much to offer. Unfortunately, as of this year Mr. Willers is no longer the principal but even though some may disagree with the way he ran things, things seemed very organized. The school and teachers have been pretty steady since my children were attending. They did have a couple teachers come and go but if it is not the right fit then it’s better to be dealt with then ignored.
Technology wise the school was really high up there but now that Mr. Willers is gone there is a little more of a relaxed feeling for the teachers. I know my children have learned so much attending this school glad I decided to transfer my kids out of the public school system that really sucks to this school. I made the right decision.
This is a tight community and someone is always hearing you out. That is one thing I have noticed. The parents have so much input that you would be amazed.

The post from Karla F. must be old or she is basing her compliments on another day and time. Yes, Mr. Willer’s is the principal now but there ends the accuracy.
Mrs Beeler has not been at St. John’s now for 4 years and Mrs. Lynch at least 6 years. Truly, they were both amazing, exemplary teachers whose desire to teach and love for all the children is unmatched. However, that time of content and nearly no turnover in teachers was another era.
Truth be told, since then, 3^rd grade has gone through at least 4 different teachers and 4^th grade 3 (maybe more). This is not to mention the other grades which have also run their gammet of teacher turn-​over.
Mr. Willers is quite presentable and a skilled salesman when it comes to bringing in new families. That is about all.

I love St. John’s School! They have a great principal, Kenneth Willers. He works hard to make sure that his students are technically savvy. The office staff is amazing too!
My son attended this school from 3^rd grade with Mrs. Lynch through 4^th grade with Mrs Beeler. Both, were AMAZING teachers. I am so glad that he attended St. John’s simply for the instruction he received from those two. I removed him to place him in KiPP… believe me it was a TOUGH decision. But, it turned out to be for the best.
So, although my child did not graduate from here; I am very fond of St. John’s. It’s infrastructure is sound and the parents are active and continuously involved. The staff is creative and the curriculum is good (not stellar). The teacher turnover rate has always been very low. I like that.
Mr Willer’s is an effective leader and communicator. If you are looking for a moderately-​priced parochial school for your child check out St. John’s. Plus, it’s in an awesome neighborhood. Glen Park ROCKS!
