Shrine of St. Anne School, Arvada | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Hi, I’m a student at St Anne’s School. It is a wonderful school with a great education, but some of the staff are very rude and don’t respect the students. The principle doesn’t really know how to run a school. She has a very awkward personality and the year she came to this school, many people left, including some wonderful teachers. She came from Vegas and she really treats students terribly. I know from experience that she is not qualified to run a school and she should be fired, but that leads me to the next issue. The priest at the church. He is the one who hired her. He is a very bad priest because he teaches the students that they are all sinners and that we need to be perfect. He has long obnoxious homilies and he really looks at the negatives of being human. One of the lunch room supervisors are very rude and they don’t treat you with respect. Now that I pointed out the very numerous flaws, let’s look at the good side. Like I stated before, the school has a great education. Most of the teachers are wonderful. They learn to deal with our ruckus and our behavior. Religion is taught well and so is the grammar science physical education and math. History, computers, Spanish, and geography are very weak. The Spanish teachers are very rude and disrespectful to the students. They are they type of people who should retire. I will be honest, we do give them a lot of crap, but one one class puts them in a bad mood, they take it out on the other students, which personally, I think is very disrespectful. Over all, you could send them to this school for the great education, but ready to deal with a lot of crap from some of the staff. They may be nice to you when you start to come to this school, but they change quickly.

I just graduated St. Anne’s and I have mixed feelings about the school that you should consider. To start off, the positives about the school are the great teachers through out my experience at this school, but I am sad to say, some of my favorite teachers have moved on. Overall, there are still some great teachers. The negatives about the school is the principal. I believe that she has no clue what she is doing and how to run a school. You will be spending money for your kids education but she believes that we need to save the kids soul first. I have been previously accused of breaking a photo booth printer. She said that there was 7 guys that did the damage and the total fee for me was $20. If you do the math 7 * 20 = 140. So in order for her to get to $300 she was going to have 3 out of the 7 kids pay $84. My parents asked for the proof that I did the damage and she send she can’t send us the picture because of privacy issues. So if you would like to send your kid to school there, I would recommend sending your child there after she is gone.

I have two children at St. Anne School and I couldn’t be happier. The teachers are kind and caring and both kids are thriving academically and socially. I have a Kindergartner and 3rd grader. We really appreciate the small class size and variety of extracurricular activities the kids can participate in. The staff has always treated us with respect and kindness. The students are some of the most kind and conscientious I’ve meet and the parents really care about the school. I am a public school product and I was skeptical if Private Catholic schools are worth the cost but I honestly believe this is a great investment in my children’s future!
