This school is run very well. Academics are high. The parents and children are very friendly. My child loves it here. There are quite a few extracurriculars. I would highly recommend!

My child is a new student here and she loves it. The children are friendly and so are the parents. They have so much to offer here. The teachers really care about their students and there is a great school spirit. Class size does not seem to be a problem as she is progressing right on target for her age and grade. A great school!

I have to say, the library and Physical Education programs are fantastic! The parents there are great too, but the acedemics are much to low.

OK education but lacking in scholastic endeavors. Structure is rigid and the principal and staff appear to be extremely resistant to improving academics or opening new programs. School policy is clearly defined and suffers from an autocratic leadership and a lack of effect analysis. Policies can be arbitrary and change from day to day. If your child may need extra attention or academic help, this is not the right environment. Parents are required to participate 40 hours a year in addition to yard duty, work party and additional fees. Class size in all grades is 36, with the exception of kinder, 30. Some faculty suffer from lack of experience and/or may be a parent. In general, academic and student management systems are much less developed than in competing public schools, and input regarding improvement is not encouraged. Great emphasis is put on Music, art and sports.

By sending our two children to Saint Victor School is far one of the best decisions my wife and myself have made in our life. My daughter who attended SVS just graudated college last week in Southern California and my son who will be Sophomore in college this coming fall. The knowledge and perseverance they received from SVS is now their important tool that will make them successful in life.

I have two kids who started at Saint Victor School since kindergarten and they are now in six and seven grades. SVS is a school where kids come first. The teachers work hard to bring out the best in each child. SVS is known to other schools for its academic performance and discipline the students have. Respect for each and discipline is very important. The principal and most teachers know each and every student by name. SVS is also engcoraging each and every student to participate in extra curricular activities. Teachers are giving up their time to teach seven grade in accelerated math and eighth grade in algebra to deserving students. The principal is in charge of the Honor Choir who have made a CD because of their outstanding performance. Thank you SVS for bringing out the best in my children and giving them the encouragement and confidence for life.

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.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
