We left this school because of a great deal of bullying that goes on, and nothing gets done about it. It is not challenging academically, so sad we chose this school for our child. We always hope the school gets better, but we keep hearing about its deterioration.

The teachers and staff are top notch and really care about our children. My girls love school and so do I. I am happy with the small size of the classes. My girls love the art, and science programs. The staff, parents and teachers are truly like one big family. The grace of God is abundant in the halls. I love attending the school mass with my children as they participate in the liturgy. Father Bob is such a blessing to our children and really involves them in our church homily. Giving my children an education where Catholic faith is in the heart of the curriculum is such a gift that my children will use their entire lives. I am so happy with our choice of school. I am a Mom of a 3rd grader, kindergartener and preschooler.

It is a wonderful school, the Kindergarten teachers are awesome. It is a smaller school, but the children get more one on one. Academically is really high, it is a A+ learning environment. We absolutely love the school. Parental involvement is welcome. St. Francis Xavier is a real Catholic School.

This is our first year at St. Francis with our daughter who is in K5. It is a wonderful program and Christian environment. They keep parents very involved in all aspects of the school. We love it and look forward to our daughter attending St. Francis through the 8th grade.

We have sent 4 of our 5 children to St. Francis Xavier. The youngest will attend in the next few years. St. Francis Xavier offers an excellent Catholic academic education for our children. The teachers are caring individuals who give of their time and talents to see that each student is learning

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
