We love St. Anthony School! My children have attended this school since 2000 and we have had wonderful experiences, both with the amazing and dedicated teachers and staff, as well as with the committed and involved community of parents and students. We chose St. Anthony school for our children because of the strong academic programs, the commitment to teaching students to be of service to others and because we wanted our children to be able to experience their faith and the gift of God each day in their classrooms.
Like another reviewer commented, we sacrifice to pay tuition and send our children to this school, but for the past seven years, we have never had a moment of regret about spending the money to provide this education for our children. If you are considering a Catholic education for your children, St. Anthony is a wonderful school.
One of my children had Mrs. Racey for a teacher. We had a wonderful year in her class. I volunteered in her classroom once a week, and I can say that the students learn quickly, she has a consistent and understandable system of discipline and consequences for actions that I really appreciate and that the students understand and appreciate as well. Her reading groups were great! In each group, students were given the opportunity to read aloud and to answer questions. She challenged students to consistently do their best and was encouraging and gave positive feedback.
Overall, our experiences have been very good and I give the school "FIVE STARS"!

My third child starts Kindergarten this fall at Cascade Elementary School. My oldest went from first thru fifth grades and I could not be more pleased with Cascade. We've only had some minor issues and they seemed to be resolved right away. Most of the teachers are excellent and I fully trust them with my children. They have a lot of fun activities throughout the year, including Santa's breakfast, Christmas store, book fairs, carnival, movie night, fundraisers, and concerts. I am very pleased with the new principal as she is very friendly and good with the children.

This is an excellent preschool and I strongly recommend it. My children and I have been attending it for the last 3 years but the school has been in the existance for over a decade. The school is run exclusively by parents who preside on the preschool board and also have school jobs with certain responsibilities. That keeps the costs down and also encourages parents to be involved in the school activities. There are two great teachers: one for younger tots and one for older kids. The preschool is affiliated with Green River Community College and, as a result, parents get excellent education in childhood development that have significantly increased my effectiveness as a parent. Their curriculum is exceptional, and all the parents are very dedicated to the school. Therefore, they are very organized and it's a very well run business.

We sent our son here at age 2 because he was very shay and had separation anxiety. The teachers were wonderful and really worked with him. The parents are very involved in the school, even at the preschool level. I was impressed with the teachers, very organized with activities planned out well. My son really came out of his shell and now he is comfortable being away from me. I highly recommend this school.

My oldest currently attends Nelsen Middle School. It's a pretty good school overall but I've found the teachers lack in communication when your child is having problems. I would like it better if they contacted when the problems begin rather than when the problem has gone so far that the kids get into trouble at school. The teachers are nice and they treat the kids well. I was a little disappointed to see them take out the game room and start replacing it with a teacher's lounge. They put in new lockers at the beginning of 2004 and update their facilities often.

Swimming is a valuable skill to learn, especially in the northwest where water is abundant. Swimmers Lane is a family run business in Renton, off Lake Youngs Road, one block off Petrovitsky, off Jones Road, by Route 18 and 169/Maple Valley Highway.
The water is warmer than most pools, 92 degrees as opposed to 85. Classes for level 1/2 are 3 kids max. It costs $15 for a 30 minute class. At Swimmers Lane, the students are taught the proper technique of swimming. The teachers are patient. Visit them at ( http://www.swimmerslane.com/index.html )
Rev (12/06): I have spoken to the other parents and here is a negative about this school: There really isn't a formal end of the classes, so, there realy isn't a formal way to move your child to the next level, unless you press them. As such, I don't think they are really results-oriented as another competing school in the area. Unlike what they say on their web site, a child can be stuck on one level, say level 2, for a whole year!
In addition, they took away the make-up class option. So if your child missed two classes, for a flu for example, on a four week month, the remaining 2 1/2 hour class session are now $30 a piece. Do the math...
