[doczel]

Hello everyone,

I was looking for any help regarding public school districts in St cloud area/Sartell.I would like to know which district is known to be better in terms of academic strength.I will moving in summer and would like to get some advice from local people who will be soon my neighbors.I have an elementary school kid.I would like to know also if Sartell is a good place to live in terms of tolerance to diverse people.Is it a nice area in general or not? I know I am asking too much but this is the most helpful forum I have ever encountered.Thanks everyone

I think all 3 public school districts in the St Cloud area are very good ( Sartell, Sauk Rapids, and St Cloud)

I would rank Sartell at #1 but you will have to live in their district because although Minnesota has open enrollment, Sartell doesn't accept open enrolled students from other districts.

Sartell has growing enrollment while Sauk Rapids and St Cloud have experienced slight drops in enrollment numbers.

tolerance to diversity should not be a concern.

I think that is a nice, growing area with good hwy access to I-94 and major state hws, great, abundant medical facilities, and major colleges ( SCSU, St John's, St Bens and a great VO-TECH )

WELCOME !
