St. John’s Prep recently announced the school’s faculty has been ranked as No. 2 on the list of the best private high school teachers in Minnesota. The ranking comes from Niche.com and is a comprehensive assessment of the quality of the teachers at private high schools in Minnesota. The ranking was supported by surveys of students and parents.
St. John’s Prep faculty is a highly educated team, 76 percent of faculty hold a master’s degree or higher. Many Prep families credit the personal attention they receive from faculty members to student success in the classroom. Prep’s average class size is 15 students. Prep’s student-to-faculty ratio is 9.5 students to one faculty member. The Class of 2015 mean score on the ACT was 26.5 versus a 23.0 state-wide score and a 21.0 national average.

“Our families already know our teachers are dedicated professionals,” said Headmaster Jonathan Licari, OSB. “We have a very supportive school community. This ranking is a nice tribute to a great faculty team. Our teachers live our mission every day in our classrooms, athletic fields and performance halls. They work tirelessly to prepare our students not only for college, but for success in higher education.
