St Teresa Catholic School 1108 Lebanon Avenue, Belleville, IL 62221

"All I can say about this place is, yikes!! We were set to visit this place today and were planning on enrolling them if it was a good fit. My husband is a physician and rescheduled his rounds and procedures to be able to go with our children. We waited for nearly 30 minutes before the principal, Sandy, showed up and informed us she essentially didn’t show up because she had heard from another catholic school we were considering enrolling our children there. Evidently, she sent this in an email that went to my husband’s spam box. This was odd in itself because I’m not sure why they believe you should commit to their school before even seeing it. However, this wasn’t my main issue, it’s that she was incredibly rude to my husband in front of my children as was the Pre-K teacher that they came into contact with. My husband is an incredibly kind and laid back person and deals with difficult patients every day, so I assure nothing was said to upset this woman. I’m a pediatric RN and I would never be so rude in front of my patients. I hope Sandy learns her manners in front of children before she retires. To add, my husband said the school was rather dated and soiled."

"It’s a really good school, love most of the teachers and their teaching ways"

"Wouldn't let me sleep in math"

"My kids went there for several years and were truly happy until the Principal retired and they brought in a new one (Mr. Birdsong). That is where the school failed. He is a terrible leader for that school and does not care for the student nor the families. It is truly a shame since we loved the school and the teachers. This change of leadership ruined a great thing. He is an arrogant, rude, and uselessPrincipal that I trusted and his actions speaks louder than his words. We had a serious matter that happened there and he laughed in my face! I asked why he thought it was funny and he told me I do not pay his salary and continued to laugh. He is the #1 and ONLY reason we left this school and I would not recommend this school to anyone until that joke of a Principal is gone!"

"my daughter goes to this school she loves it she is in 4th grade"
