St Clare of Assisi School

In response to the one star review. That principal was so awful she didn’t make it past February before the school and parish announced she would be gone in May. Huge kudos to St. Clare for moving fast to remove a toxic hire. On the heels of that giant mistake was an amazing hire!!! The current principal is outstanding and has returned St. Clare to the treasure it was when my boys attended. My boys left St. Clare with excellent scholarships to DeSmet and then St. Louis University. They scored in the 30s on their ACTs and one is studying Mechanical Engineering. The other is discerning the seminary. My daughter currently attends St. Clare and is thriving under the leadership and kind environment that was restored with the current principal. The parish is a gem. Our youth minister is vibrant, fun, so passionate about our Catholic faith, and is a pied piper with the young people. The same for our priests and their homilies are consistently high caliber. St. Clare (school and parish) is such a sweet, happy, and welcoming place. If you meet the principal you will understand the five stars. She is pretty freaking awesome.

This school is a great example of what Catholic Identity means. The curriculum is challenging, and all three of my kids are learning at an above average pace from the great staff. Graduating 8th graders are more than ready for the challenge of high school and excelling once they get there. The parish community here is vibrant which adds to the positive experience my kids are lucky to be part of.

I’ve had two children graduate from St.Clare. Both more prepared for high school. Totally recommend this school community.
