St. Vincent De Paul School

As a parent of 2 former students the school is over priced and severly lacking in math and english skills; kids will struggle at college-prep schools. Safe & cozy environment does not make up subpar academics.

My son is on his 4th year in St. Vincent's and I am extremely pleased with the academic and personal growth he is achieving! The teachers are dedicated, intelligent and take the time to assist every student on an 'as needed' basis. I think the tuition is reasonable when comparing to other private schools in the county. I will keep my child here until he completes 8th grade! The parents are committed as well. It is a very close knit, trustworthy school community and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting their child to have excellent educational and spiritual growth!

I am a parent of a graduate and a current student. I strongly stand by this school. When my son graduated, he attend a private Catholic high school and was completely parpared in every area. As a freshman he started off in level 2 classes but, was so parpared he should have been in honors classes. He then advanced to honors classes. As a junior they were learing material that he already learned in 8th grade at St. Vincents. The teachers at St. Vincent's are so dedicated to the students and their teaching skills are superior. If your child is having and type of difficulty, the parent is informed immediately. The tuition is reasonable and I would pay any amount before I send my children to the East Haven public schools.

My daughter has attended this school for 8 years and she loves it. She has one of the largest classes in the school, but is never over looked or deprived of attention. The children are kind, respectful, and polite. They all get along well. The teachers she has had are wonderful, caring,educators. They are dedicated to the school and our children. She is being well prepared for highschool, learning to take notes, study, and overall responsibility for her own work. I feel the tuition is comparable to other catholic schools in the areas and well worth it, compared the lacking public schools in East Haven. The school families are friendly and generous in their time and efforts to keep the school thriving. This school would not be what it is without its wonderful staff and parents. I would recommend this school to every I know.

Excellent school! Excellent preparation for High School. This school teaches excellent study skills and makes the transition to high school a breeze. Excellent teachers-excellent curriculum. This school if far superior than East Haven public schools. The parents that enroll their children in this school play an active part in their child's education. The school is worth the tuition paid to attend this quality school.

To expensive, poor leardership at the top including the Pastor and Principal. I am a parent of a current student and a past graduate. Where is he spirtuality ? The educational quality is simply not as high with that of my oldest child. I am counting the days until Graduation and just hope my child is properly prepared for High School both Spirtually and Intellectually.

I think St. Vincent de Paul is an excellent school. It has just been reaccredited and has a strong commitment to the community. The teachers are excellent and prepared my oldest daughter who is now attending a top rated high school and is doing very well.

the new principal is lacking to say the least. the teachers are no better then the lacking education, and the price you pay is rediculous for what the school has to offer the children as they prepare for higher education. steer clear!

Expensive, with a far less superior education and curriculum then should be expected. Cute, friendly, family, small community feel, but education is far too important for those to be the best qualities. Doesnt adequately prep the children for entry into high school.
