My daughter has gone here from 3rd-8th grade, and went to an "A" public school for 6th, then transferred back for 7th. There was a major change in academics from each school. I disagree with people who say that this school isn't advanced, at least in middle school. She has been learning high school science, high school spanish, and advanced math (Algebra 1). The school is safe, friendly, and clean. My daughter absolutely loves this school and everyone is a family, this school is worth the money! A+!
My daugher just started PreK3 program this year. I have to say that her teacher is the reason we attend. My daugher has learned things from this teacher that I am so glad I choose this school. I can not wait for her sister to attend in two years. The teachers assistant is also a pleasure as well as office staff. I highly recommend the PreK 3 program.
We are new to the school this year (2010-11) and we are extremely pleased with our decision to enroll our daughter. The school is wonderful and she was welcomed exceptionally well among students and faculty. The principal of the school is absolutely an amazing, dedicated individual who seems to know the name of every student in the school. Highly recommend St. Joseph's for a whole body educational experience, the 45minute drive is well worth the quality student development.
St. Joseph is a wonderful school. They have done an excellent job academically. In the last two years, St. Joseph's graduates have captured four Valedictorian spots in the local high schools (including IB). Of the thousands of seniors competing for these positions, our graduates continually rise to the top. The school also has an abundance of extra curricular activities for students and families. We are very happy to be a part of such of wonderful community.
Excellent school, academic programs and teachers.
As a former educator, I am extremely pleased with this school. The Principal is wonderful. She truly cares about each student and expects success all around. My oldest is in middle school and I am positive that he will be well prepared to excel in high school.
Worth every penny. Excellent middle school academic program. Strong families, caring teachers and a safe school environment.
Safe school, upper scale. However, at least one year behind good/average public schools. The school spends too much time on religion and incorporating religion in each subject.
ok well most of the reveiws here are untrue. both of my parents teach at the school and I know for a fact that half the things people are saying here are untrue. We have a new principal now and she is acually ok. Parents love her. As a student in middle school they teach us alot of stuff, especially in science and math. The discipline is ok but kind of messed up. Some teachers are amazing and have been teaching for more then 20 years. Others, I dont like and I dont think they care at all. The students are really gossipy and it isnt all that easy to make freinds. BUT, there are no fights ever and bullying is almost non-existant. St. Joes also has one of the best religious programs around. Overall, its a ok school.
St. Joseph's is an excellent school that is constantly striving for improvement. The new principal is extremely dedicated to academic achievement and has implemented outstanding programs and policies that have made St. Joseph's a premier school in the area. My family has felt very welcome since joining the school. The parent involvement is amazing. We are very glad our children have the opportunity to attend St. Joseph s School.
