Parents feel welcome at this school, that is why so many non Catholics have transferred their kids here from the public school.. A great school, great teachers. Wonderful environment for learning.

The school provides a learning environment. Classes are smaller than public school classes with enhanced class choices. Children begin science and social studies in 1st grade. The children do not spend their days with 3 recesses, like the public schools. Parents are required to be involved with their children's learning so that they are aware of what the child is doing and the parents are accountable. I would strongly recommend the school for up through 5th grade, but the children need to gain additional social skills to blend in at the high school level so at the very least the child, depending on their disposition, should transfer to the public junior high despite the educational quality that St. John's provides.

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.
