St. Joseph is a wonderful year. The teachers are caring, compasionate, wonderful teachers who have been at this school for 15+ years. A new principal has reorganized this school and is updating all technology. If you are looking for a truly great Catholic Educaton come to St. Joseph!
School Administration is disorganized. Lost our tuition payments 3 years in a row. Very traditional and narrow minded philosophy. Some of the teachers care, but there is limited educational resources with the expensive tuition. We finally pulled our two children from the school.
This school was not good at all. These reviews are outdated. The treatment has changed as the staff has changed. The classes are so small that if one person does not like your child for a day no one will. The staff only punishes physical bullying not social. They all pick favorites and if it is not your child they will be treated unfairly. My daughter went there from Preschool to fifth grade and it all went bad in third. This school does not motivate students to do well either. DON'T SEND YOU CHILD HERE!
Our kids LOVE the school. Here are some facts: -70th year -Highest MEAP scores in the county for several years (amongst highest in MI) -Art, Music, Computers, Religion & Spanish for every student -STRONG athletic program -Many extra-curricular programs -Latchkey, hot lunch, bus transportation available -Low class size -Low teacher turnover (avg 13 year seniority!)
This school is top notch. My oldest daughter entered St. Joseph in the 2nd grade, and is now attending Franciscan University of Steubenville She and I are very thankful for the solid Catholic teaching that she received from St. Joseph School, not to mention the academic excellence. I have had four children go through St. Joseph, with the youngest still attending. I would not have traded our experience for anything, and would highly recommend the school to anyone looking to not only prepare their child for the future, but for eternity.
My two children are now in their second year at this incredible school. Transfering from a public environment they were welcomed with open arms by the staff and students. The structure of the classes have provided my children with the one on one attention that was lacking in our former school district. They are no longer just a number. High moral standards and the christian way of life are reinforced daily. Worth every penny.
The school is terrible. Staff is incompetent. The atmosphere is unfriendly and the kids gossip as much as the parents. This is not a christian atmosphere!!!!!!!
Academic gem of a school. Great character focus.
We moved to Howell from Redford where my children attended another Catholic School. St. Joe's is by far a better school from the way it is run to the curriculum. My children have expanded not only their minds but their social outlets. My children have scored above the national and state average on all subjects. They are provided a spiritual well rounded place to learn. The principal at St. Joe's really cares about the students and the school and it shows. The parents are happy to be involved. This is truly the best school my children could be enrolled in. Just my opinion
