St Clare Catholic School 214 West 3rd Street, O'Fallon, IL 62269

"Excellent school, staff and administration. The time and attention given to each student goes above and beyond what Is expect from a school and most importantly, they have well prepared my children for high school and further education."

"Our daughter had finished 6th grade at the public middle school and her academic grades sharply declined. She began surrounding herself with friends whose only interests were clowning around and hanging out. We saw where this was heading… so we met with the principal at St Clare had a wonderful tour and decided to transfer our daughter there. After a few months adjusting at St Clare, she had a much better group of new friends who liked to study together. Her grades improved to straight A’s by the time she graduated 8th grade at St Clare in 2012. She transferred back to our public high school and was in honors classes all four years and is doing great in college now. St Clare did an exceptional job of turning my daughter’s life around for the better! They do not have any special needs or behavioral programs for troubled youth. However, for most students, St Clare provides a really positive atmosphere that helps students realize their full potential."

"Great faith based educational institution. Parent and teacher involvement is fabulous. Found to be very sports competitive. If your child has challenges of ADD/ADHD, your child would be better served in a public school setting. Current principal, Clarice McKay, is wonderful. Her own faith shines through with all that she does for the children. A+ education"

"We experienced very poor treatment by the principle Ms. Faust after our son transferred from public school, it was a big transition for him and us. We were told by the principle that they "don't have the resources" and "we were not welcome back." Not what we expected from a Catholic school or from the supposed Christian leadership of the school."

"We love St Clare!! We were sad to move. The teachers are great, the staff is fantastic. Wonderful place to grow and learn."
