St. Sebastian is our second big family outside our home. The principal, all the faculty and staffs are very friendly and very accommodating. I always felt that there is no better and safer school for my daughter. It's amazing how all the faculty and staff knows every student if not take the initiative to get to know everyone which gives motivation not only the students but also the parents to get to know everyone. I would highly recommend this school to everyone.

St. Sebastian is a great school. Coming from a near by public school, I got to say has nothing on this school. Saint Sebastian is small but very family orientated school the kids, parents and teachers are very respectable friendly and approachable. The principal and teachers know your name and your kids, which I was very impressed with. I have recommended this school to everyone I know. Some of them that have come to check out the school are currently enrolling for fall. If you re looking for a school with high educational standards but friendly environment at the same time, I promise you Saint Sebastian is the school for you. This School goes above and beyond. I can go on and on about Saint Sebastian. They are awesome! A great hidden treasure if you ask me!

I go to Saint Sebastian School. I am currently in 7th grade. This school is really great. I have several memories good and bad at this school. All the teachers are very nice and respectful to the students. It's a small school but we're all just like a big happy family. I really love this school because the teachers are very nice and the way they teach makes it very easy to understand. Saint Sebastian is a very cool school. I only recomend one thing... get lockers for the middle school!! Other than that St. Sebastian School Rocks! =]

Alright. Im not a parent. Im a student. I attended St. Sebastian K-8 and am now a junior in high school. Looking back, this school has been threw so many changes some being bad, some being good. Every single teacher is on top of their game, and know whats going on with the students. I'll admit there were many times when I got into major trouble, but the principle/teachers were always understanding, and were able to work with you. Basically I miss this school, and I would recomend it to any young individual who is in need of a good school. Im not going to give my name, but just a little hint, I graduated 8th grade in 2005!!! yay!!! This school is one of the best.

I am so happy to have my daughter here at St. Sebastian. The mix of technology, well educated teachers and a caring administration sets the school apart. You always see so many parents involved and on campus. It really feels like a tight family working to provide the best academic, spiritual and fun environment for our kids. My daughter has been doing so well and any areas she needs to work on the teachers have always made us aware right away so there are no surprises when report cards come out.

I have mixed feelings about this school. The administration and teachers do try to make it into a good school but there is still a lot of work need to be done. Policies need to be consistent and there is a need for organization.

We migrated here last year from the Philippines. We were looking for a school wherein our kids can adapt easily and will not experience culture change.We went to this school and we were very happy the way they accomdated us.The principal himself toured us in school, talked to my kids as friendly as he can be.After our tour, our kids told us, ' We want to come and study here.'My kids enjoyed their school a lot. All the teachers are nice and acccomodating. The principle is great. He knows every students and parents. He has a very strong leadership which made the school great.

High quality education, state of the art technology and great teachers are some of the highlights of this school. Smart boards, computers, art program, music program and after school care are some of the great things offered at St. Sebastian. The teachers are great, not only because of their credentials but because they genuinely care about the children and the school. They have a great pre-school program as well. I am an alumni (having attended from K-8) and am happy to have my children attending this school. The principal is awesome... he always gives above and beyond what is expected of a principal.

I have put 2 children through this fine school. One has graduated w/ honors and one is still attending. It is a wonderful school with a very nurtured setting. They are up to date with all academics and in technology for learning. All classes are equip with 'Smart boards' and modern computers. The Principal there knows every student by name! Now that's a positive teacher, student rapport! Also provided is religious instruction for those who are Catholic. Which maintains a very pleasant Christian environment.

I feel so blessed to have attended St. Sebastian's School. I feel that not only did I receive an excellent, well-rounded education, but also gained a strong spiritual/religious foundation. I learned the importance of character, integrity and kindness. The teachers/administration/staff were very nurturing towards the students and had a genuine love for teaching. The lesson plans were creative and kept the student's interest. I also liked the fact that there weren't too many students in the classroom so I was able to obtain more individualized attention. I highly recommend the school as it prepared me well for high school.
