St. Francis of Assisi School

This K-8 is a great place to grow and go to school. There's a full day kinder program, after school care that has been run by the same person for several years and virtually no teacher turnover. Teachers like the school and the school likes their teachers! A car line for pick up and drop off is in place for families as well. The upper grades wear uniforms that distinguish them from the younger grades and there is a strong sense of community within the school. If you appreciate an academic focus and commitment to teaching morals to children and faith in God, this is an excellent option. (Tuition is not as high as some private schools in the area).

My grandson started kindergarten at SFA this year. He is given everything he needs to succeed as a student. He is safe. He is learning to be a loving and caring human being. He is excited about going to school. He knows by name many children in the upper grades. He has an 8th grade buddy. He is reading. He is enthusiastic about learning. He has learned to respect others and love God. I cannot say enough about this nurturing and loving school and school community. Sister James, principal, is a strong force for goodness and excellence in education. The SFA community is the best and the school and children it so loving supports blossoms. I am wildly enthusiastic about SFA.

Horrible school, too strict and the kids there are very mean. Spanish curriculum was a joke, nobody learned a thing. During crafts the parents did everything for you. Uniform gets hot and sweaty. On special occasions you have to pay to have a free dress day. Would not recommend this school at all.

We moved our first child to SFA after an unsuccessful few years at a nearby public school. She blossomed in the smaller more disciplined environment. Our second child started immediately in the K class and we could not be happier. SFA has a strong sense of community in and out of the classroom. I also appreciate that they involve the older kids with the younger 'buddy' grades that fosters respect amongst the age groups and that there is even interaction with the parish seniors to promote interaction and respect with 'adopted grandparents.' However, SFA isn't a quick fix...kids argue, kids fidget, daydream and can forget to do their homework, just as they always have but I have found the smaller environment at SFA helps a parent know better what their Childs day to day activities.

We're thrilled with the school and education. SFA is also filled with a strong sense of community...
