This school is a gem for the city of Abilene. My granddaughter has been attending St John's since…read morepre K. She is now in second grade and has just thrived there. She learned to read virtually overnight; however, what I have really noticed is how polite and kind she is to everyone. She is learning far more than the "three R's" at St John's. I live out of town and recently visited my family in Abilene. I went to chapel at St John's and then spent a few minutes visiting my granddaughter's class and a third grade class, taught by my daughter, who recently left public school teaching. I am a former teacher; my sister is a teacher. I had two aunts who were teachers, so I believe I can objectively say: St John's is a very special school.

Clack is one of Abilene's Middle Schools. While i personally don't think it is run as efficiently…read moreas Dyess Elementary, I do believe that they still are doing a pretty good job. The staff is always available for any doubt/concern a parent may have. Particularly efficient are the counselors, always attentice and perceptive to the needs of the students. I would like to personally give some HUGE kudos to the ESL program and teacher, Ms. Marshall, essential to an ever growing international community, it provides the safest and most thriving environment for those students whose only need is to be nurtured and made to bloom. Also worth a merit mention is Ms. Josselet's English class, being able to work on PCs, comfortably read books on poofs, interact both with the teacher and other students in a relaxed environment makes progressing in one's class a truly intuitive and positive experience. The structure is very efficient, the diversified timetable provides a safe environment for younger students, preventing (for the most part) bullying from older stundents. The bully report form is also a great deterrent. I find having to fast-paced walk (no running allowed) from one end to the other of the school risking a tardy a bit too strict but i guess with so many students, discipline is the key. I really approve of the tutoring, offered either before or after normal school hours, free of charge to allow students to have passong grades All in all, this school deserves a solid 4-stars.
