We found St John's lacking in leadership, academics, and discipline. Our Child's test scores went down and so did his everyday standards. Emotional and verbal bullying were not addressed and children at times were at physical risk. Our child is now at a new school and it has become evident the standards at St John's comparatively were much lower.
I am currently a Junior in high school and still look back as on this school as the best time of my life. The classes are small so everyone feels like a family. All the teachers no you and are all so wonderful. There is none of the clicks that usually take place in other schools. You will see a huge difference in your child's behavior compared to that of the public school. I'm still talk with all my classmates. The school work prepare me for high school and allowed me to take higher classes like advanced English. When i have children they are definitely going to St. johns. Trust me you won't regret sending your child here!
My oldest is in high school and has been on the honor roll every year. He was given a wonderful opportunity from St. John to prepare him for high school. The staff offers quality education with the emphasis of Christian values, making learning at St. John a real value. I have three other students enrolled and I am pleased with every aspect of their education. I have found the teachers to be dedicated to their calling. The school has strong leadership and supportive parents and I am very proud to send my children to St. John The Baptist.
I find that the subject matter that my children learn is much more advanced than that of their friends that attend the public school. With smaller classrooms and teachers that enjoy teaching there, it makes for a better environment. I have also noticed the massive difference between the children's behavior.
