Research St. Henry Elementary School private Schools in Nashville, Tennessee

“St. Henrys has been a godsend for us. Our daughter was in public school until 4th grade.This is when most parents exit the public school system. The whole faculty welcomed her and you don't have to be an insider to be accepted or have parents or grandparents who have gone there. The narcissism, selfishness exhibited in the public school system at Eakin Elementary was not the values I wanted her to learn in the middle school years. She says this isthe best school she has ever gone to.”

“As a recent alumnus (graduated last year--'07) I have a better understanding than any parent can give from 'observing.' Going into high school, SHS prepared me well academically and athletically. Many fond, fond memories at St. Henry, most of which come from 6th-8th grade, which are by far the best years you will spend at this school. I recommend it.”

“Overall, we are very pleased with St. Henry School. Yes, the principals change every few years, and that can be good sometimes! I think that the children receive a solid education, and of course, some teachers are better than others. (isn't that at every school?) The more you get involved and look for the good, the more you will find it. I have found much good at St. Henry School.”

“St. Henry's has been in a steady freefall for years. The principal is always a nun, whi is usually heavy handed, with little experience. One new parent referred to it as the 'Stepford School,' and she is right on. If you have no family history here, forget it. Academically fair in grades 1-6; horrendous for 7-9. Stay away from this place!”

“As good an overall education you will find in the city. Test scores, to athletics, to discipline...they are all very good but the most important aspect is the overall ideal of caring and giving to others.”

“Academically, the school does a fair job (depending on which teacher you get) until middle school when many students leave. Overall, instruction is approached traditionally with little concern for learning styles--very 'cookie cutter'. Positives: the children behave, attend mass regularly, and are safe. If you are considering applying for this school, ask about test scores. School-wide or grade level test results are not reported to parents and community. Most schools publish this information.”

“If your parent's, grandparent's and great grandparent's didn't go to St. Henry's, then it is likely that your child will never fit in. These kids are all related to each other, and have been together since birth. Not much room for outsiders.”
