This is our first year at St Paul s and I currently have four children attending St Paul s. I have to disagree with the previous comment about the pre-k teacher and principal. One of our daughters is in the VPK class and Mrs. De is loving, kind, and very passionate about teaching. The current principal has listened and took immediate action to all my concerns. She has helped mold a program for our child with learning disabilities as well as our advanced middle schoolers. This school is helping my daughters down a path that leads to life long learning. Our girls come home inspired and more curious then they have ever been. Finally, I feel as though each teacher truly loves their job and the children they teach.

Principal and pre-k teacher were awful. ! A teacher can make or break your child - this school definitely has some breakers!!! They just have unrealistic expectations for the preschool age group (said that he was needy and self centered). Long story short, they suggested a psychologist on day 3. Before making the mistake of changing him to St. Paul s, he was at Providence Child Development Center (for three years never had any issues and he was doing so great). On day 10 couldn t take it anymore and decided to change him back to Providence. We have since moved on, and my child is back in a very loving environment (he is so happy to be back!!). ALSO, the Principal will undermine your opinion as a parent. So glad to have moved on!!!

My son has been in this school for three years and I can only say great things about it. Every year he has had amazing teachers, the enviroment is excellent, the principal does an excellent job. Great parents and great kids, lots of parent involvement, They have a wonderful program for Kindergarteners where they get assigned a 7th grade buddy that reads to them, stays with them in mass, etc. It's great to see how polite and sweet a 7th grader is in this school, never heard of bullying here. Everything here is about love and respect. My son loves to go to school and enjoys learning new things, he actually wakes up excited every day for a new day in this school.

Our 2 children attend St. Pauls Catholic School. Our oldest was originally in the public school system at an A rated elementary school. After researching which school would provide the best academic foundation, we concluded that St. Pauls is a better choice. The parents are very involved, the educational environment is excellent and the result is a superior education. I also appreciate the feeling among students and teachers that the students should behave appropriately in a school and strive to achieve. This creates a better opportunity for all to learn.

We have 3 children who have graduated and one who is in 5th grade now. Obviously we are pleased with how our kids were prepared for high school and college. The great teachers at St. Paul's were a good influence on our kids.

Excellent school. Offers many organized extra-curricular activities, discount for volunteer hours, teachers are friendly and students come out of there ahead of other kids scholastically. The whole student body attends mass once a week, and parents are invited. I really value this school.

St Pauls is a wonderful community. It has a tremendous blend of academic challenges with personal, social growth for the students.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

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.
