The school is not a good school, that does not have a religion class everyday for 8th. A lot of the teachers are rude to the children and ever since the new principle came, this school has turned into trash. I would not recommend sending my child here as a parent that used to have a child attending this school.

St Leo's is a great school! We moved to this area 2 years ago and my daughter was in catholic school before so we put her to St.Leo's. She is happier than in previous school,loves her teachers and has more friends than before.I am happy because St.Leo"s School teach my daughters (now2) not only basics but also faith,good values and everything that good catholic should know. Thanks for everything to our Pastors Father Bart and Father Jim that they support this school so much, teachers and parents who are involved in everyday school life! May God bless them and God bless the St.Leo's School !!!!

We love Saint Leo's. The teachers have one main objective; their students. The administration is very supportive of the teacher and students. This school not only teaches the fundamentals of reading and writing; it also teaches the children teamwork, compassion and respect. Would not send our daughters anywhere else. God Bless Our School

I am a recent graduate, SLS Class of 2009. I had been in St. Leo's for almost 10 years, and never regreted it. The teachers are absolutely fantastic, and are always willing to help you get your grades up. Throughout the course of my journey in St. Leo's, I felt like I was learning something, and people really cared about me. SLS IS a family, and a very tight-knit community, who does everything to help you learn more about yourself and your faith in God. Their love and support is something that I forever hold SLS close to my heart, and I'm sure to the hearts of others.

St. Leos' is a school where all good Catholic Chrisitian values are taught to our children. So we think. We should practice what we preach. A church and School with so many ex nuns would God want you all to be such big gossipers now . Change is suppose to be good right. How come our new principal allows this ask her. Why is parent's allowed to be on the faculty. Other teacher's there send their own children to different schools right.Everyone knows how all the good things that happen at St. Leo's gets around. They should not forget who pays all their salaries. How can the children be happy in this kind of atmosphere. Change is good and it's time the diocese comes in and does just that. So St. Leo's can be a good Catholic School again.

i think St Leos is a warm, nurturing environment as well as excellent academic standards. The principal really cares about the children. Smartest thing i ever did was to select that school

St.leo's was the worst school ever. I graduated from there almost 3 years ago. I had the worst experiences there and I don't even want to go back there to visit. This school is a big joke. I would never think of recommending anyone to St.Leo's. The teachers at this school favored only the ones who were super smart and never gave consideration to the others. This school made me think I was a failure and that I had some kind of learning dissability. After leaving St.Leo's i started fresh at my high school and I am now a straight A student and even in student council. St.Leo's shouldn't even be open for learning, it's a dump. The new principle has made it worse than before. St.Leo's has become like a public school rather than a good catholic school. You pay so much money..for what? Absolutely nothing, I learned nothing there.

Our experience with St. Leo's elementary school is phenomenal. We have two sons attending this school. The principal and teachers are excellent, the education program is progressive and the level of students is also outstanding. I highly recommend St. Leo's

Being a grandmother, I've experienced many school systems from pre-k right through college. I must say that I am highly impressed with St. Leo's. The new principal seems to be a hands-on person. She runs a tight ship, yet sends a positive vibe out. It's fantastic to see a new faculty of young teachers who can easily relate to the students. Religious beliefs and the importance of family molds a child into a well-rounded adult with proper morals. I truly believe that St. Leo's can assist your child in becoming this type of adult. The education St. Leo's offers is right on the money. It's just up to your child along with your support to take advantage of it.
