Positive feedback on SANB schools from recent survey
The City of St. Anthony recently conducted a survey on various aspects of living in St. Anthony Village. One of the questions was on education, and 87% of respondents rated K-12 education in St. Anthony as Excellent or Good.

“This was higher than the benchmark, confirming the important role the district plays in strengthening our community,” the city said in a recent Facebook post. To view the full results from the community survey, view the survey online.
