St. Cletus is my community, both in and out of school, both in and out of church.

My two sons now attending St. Cletus represent the second generation of our family at the school, with my wife and I meeting there and graduating in the same class many years ago. Throughout the years, St. Cletus has given students a strong educational and religious base from which to grow and learn through their high school years and beyond. For us, St. Cletus is more than just a school, but an important part of our everyday lives and will be for many years to come.

The teachers and staff are very caring and friendly. Each child is treated as an idividual. We are very proud and touched at how well rounded our children have become as a result of attending St. Cletus. St. Cletus is part of our family.

Besides the top notch educational program for all grades, technologically speaking we are head and shoulders above the local schools. There is also a great sense of community and faith. Love it!

The focus on faith, family and the future of our children. St. Cletus is a great community consisting of amazing staff, great parents who get involved and wonderful children who love and support one another and make us proud! It's a great place to spend 9 years.

We feel so blessed to be able to send our son to St. Cletus where he receives a top-notch education, solid formation in the Catholic Faith, a faculty and staff that treats each child (and parents too) with great respect, and classmates from truly wonderful families. I can't imagine a better school for my son!

St Cletus's has a strong community of caring parents and a faculty and staff that take a personal interest in developing the whole child.

St. Cletus wasn't the closest Catholic school to our home but we chose this for our children because: the faculty cares; the students care for one another; the messages learned during weekly Masses are carried throughout the school day. Life lessons are learned every minute of every day! Thank you St. Cletus Administration for nurturing, teaching and caring about our children!

I love the warm inviting feel of a close knit community. All the adults, staff and parents included, look out for the children. The academic education my children are receiving is even beyond the top notch public schools in our community. The teachers are firm with high expectations, yet nurturing at the same time. I am so pleased with all St. Cletus has to offer.

I must admit its a family network, not only for school and religion. But for the interest of the child's long term education as well as there well being. The teachers and the staff here not only teach education. use their parenting skills on being fair and not leaving anyone out.This is a must in todays society. This is what makes us Saint Cletus

St. Cletus is a family that is there for one another.....in good times and in bad. I love that we partner with our outstanding teachers and principal to create an atmosphere that is best for our children. We care about outstanding education and faith filled teachings that will help our children for the rest of their lives.

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.
