St. Mark's Has Equipped Me to Thrive Long After Graduating. I am a graduate of St. Mark's Lutheran School, having attended from age 4 through 8th grade. The education I received at St. Mark's was absolutely outstanding, the faculty competent and caring, and the curriculum challenging and Christ-centered. St. Mark’s educates the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. From core subjects like reading, science, and mathematics to the oft-neglected fields of music, literature, art, and religion, St. Mark’s enabled me to excel far beyond the standards set for children my age. I vividly remember learning about the cultures of England, Mexico, Japan, and the Native Americans all the way back in Mrs. Lee’s kindergarten class, as well as our in-depth study of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” in Mr. Kiesel’s eighth grade literature class. Mere months after I graduated from St. Mark’s and entered into ninth grade, standardized testing put me at a post-high school reading level. I have since gone on to graduate magna cum laude from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Materials Science and Engineering and am now in the top 10% of my graduate school class. I have and always will accredit my academic success to the discipline, life skills, and positive attitude instilled in me from the very first day I set foot in St. Mark’s Lutheran School.

The Best Kept Secret for A Christian Education. We have 2 children who graduated from St. Mark's and both were head and shoulders above their classmates in public school. The teachers at St. Mark's are nurturing, caring and strive to educate & equip the whole child to be well-rounded and grounded in Christian values in all aspects of their lives. The facilities may not be the most modern, but cleanliness is a priority. The playground is the best anywhere and the faculty is highly qualified. I don't think you'll find a better education for the price anywhere. St. Mark's is like a family to us. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking a Christ centered school & excellent education for their children. You won't be disappointed!

Used to be a good school ...but. The school used to have good old religious values, great administration and wonderful teachers. As soon as the new Pastor became in charge it became all about money and profits. If you are looking for a nurturing, safe, fair environment, this school is not for your kids.
