Very good school. The 4th grade teacher is exceptional. He never underestimates the childrens intellect. My child has learned to be a better student in his class. The principal is responsive to the concerns of the parents.

The school has been going thru some changes. They were some unhappy parents with the direction of the school. Some parents felt that the school did not react quick enough to take corrective measures. Changes however have been made, and they seem to be positive changes. Junior high program looks very promising this year.

I love the school. My daughter is a kindergartener, and she enjoys going to school. Her teacher is very compassionate, patient, and dedicated. The administrative staff is very helpful and the principal is exceptional. The school's curriculum includes music, P.E., computers, and foreign language as early as kindergarten. The school participates in the academic decathlon competition and has won in the past. Parents are very involved with the school and its various programs.

Love the Kindergarten teacher, she is very involved with the kids, but I'm kind of afraid of the 1st grade student/teacher ratio. Great availability of music, computer and extracurricular activities.

Overcrowded, 42 kids in 1st grade. The burden is put on the parents to teach the children because of low, teacher-student classroom ratio.

This school is amazing. There is true compassion for the students. Parents can get involved in unlimited ways. You always feel welcome. With the small number of students, it is a small community. Eighth graders bond with kindergarteners. No one feels left out. There are activities where the whole school gets together and works as a team. Children are never afraid to go to school. There are many sports, such as volleyball, basketball, track, and football. There are also academic programs like CJSF and the Academic Decathlon. This is a truly magnificent school.

I am so lucky that my kids are going to and have graduated this wonderful school. We have an amazing principal and pastor. The most remarkable gift is the people and Parish involvement. We have an amazing faculty and staff.

Truly an experience I have not enough words for... It has been a wonderful, fullfilling journey for my child and myself to be a part of this school. They are fair and academically challenging and innovative. Funds are hard to come by, so I'm sure we could have more for our children if we had more sponsors and community support. The school authorites try to keep the cost of tuition down to try to allow parents not to be financially burdened, so outside funds are necessary.
