Recent Reviews
St. Francis of Assisi School has a number of caring, competent, qualified teachers that "go the extra mile" for students. The same cannot be said for the administrative team at the school, which is very unresponsive to parent concerns. In recent years, the administrators have not renewed the contracts of veteran, accomplished, well-liked teachers with little or no explanation. The parents at the school are very involved, but tend to have a sense of entitlement (because they pay tuition, they frequently demand curricular changes and refuse to defer or acknowledge the opinions of the very accomplished teachers). If you are considering a Catholic school in the area, there are a number of better choices than St. Francis. I have decided to send my kids to a different school in the area.
Caring teachers that are willing to go the extra mile to help the students achieve their goals. Parent volunteers are dedicated and greatly involved in the classroom setting. There are sign-up sheets for monthly volunters that fill-up quickly
