Southwest was an excellent school for high school. It really made a difference in how I turned out…read moreand was much improved from my middle school. They have so many wide programs in theater, arts, baccalaureate. The school is very diverse and allows students to interact with all kinds of students from different ethnic backgrounds. They always encourage students to come from abroad, so you'll have the chance to meet with people from around the world. They offer PSEO, so you can go to Normandale and get credit for high school and college (although most classes only transfer to U of M and not all private schools accept - look into it). Great neighborhood. Great after school programs. Great teachers. Just awesome!

My kids went to school here until 6th grade. Amazing teachers, rigorous academics, excellent…read moreencouragement and awards with VIP recognition. Great programs like having a "secret reader" come read to the kids (usually their parent of grandparent) very community driven and taught my kids to study! Highly recommend for anyone searching for a great school for their kid

First of all this is in Apple Valley MN not St Paul. My child has been going here for 6 years. Very…read moregood teachers. My child was a child to howl about in January also. The class sized are high however, 32 in his class. Field trips are good. My child has felt safe and not bullied. There is some diversity but not a lot. School has early start at 830 am and done by 240 pm. This appeals to working parents as most elementary schools begin at 920. This school also has some open enrolled students. There are a lot of PTO fundraisers but no pressure If you dont participate. If you live too close you have to pay for bussing. This school was built in 1970's and has a boiler heat system and my child wears t shirts in winter as a result. They are very aware of peanut and nut allergies here also.

First the school is mostly good if you don't roast anybody or be mean no one will hate you the…read morelunch is a little bad but not that bad is the things are nice and teachers don't give to much homework the teachers will yell at students but not too much and only if they misbehave a little., the school is good and a little great but not the best the lunch is cheap 5 dollars it's like fruit sometimes sometimes veggies and and like some cheap things but kind of healthy. The last thing is that it teaches religion but not too much a good amount not too much or too little. So it's a great school not the best like four stars I think.

This school turned my daughter's education around. She was struggling with reading in a really…read morelarge class in Minneapolis. We transferred to Heilicher where she found a much smaller classroom and is now reading constantly and loooves her teachers and friends. This is a community where your child is seen; teachers greet everyone by name in the morning. Among the best choices I have ever made.

I graduated about ten years ago, so it may be quite different, but I am so very grateful that I got…read morethe opportunity to go to high school here! When a lot of people think of private Catholic schools, they think of rich white preppy kids and extremely conservative environments. Sure, there are kind who are well-off and sure there are some preppy kids, but when I was there it was a mix of socioeconomic and culturally/racially diverse backgrounds. The school was also very progressive - we had GLBT club and had people of a variety or religious backgrounds who were all welcomed. My favorite course was Brother David's World Religions course. It helped to shape who I am today more than any other course I have taken - including my college courses. I am very proud to be an Islander and only hope to be able to give this experience to my children as well!

I have had 2 children attend DeLaSalle. Over the years they have been students, it has changed from…read morea school with an emphasis on community and college preparation to one focused on athletics. If athletics is your goal, you would be better off at Cretin. If religion is why you pick a parochial school, you would be better off at Concordia. For academics, you would be better at Minnehaha or SPA. Why go to De now?
