Academy of St. Joseph High School

I have been a student at the Academy for five years, and i have to say it has been the best experience of my life. the opportunities for succeeding are endless, and I am very pleased with the faculty. The teachers are always there to lend out helping hand, and the girls are truly long lasting friends. The only way i can see someone having a bad experience is if they set themselves up for one. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!!

My daughter has attended Catholic school since the third grade. We are very pleased with her performance and progress at the Academy. She has made good friends, and now in her junior year, feels very prepared for the competitive process of applying to colleges. The small classes, and personal interactions with her teacher are both pluses, allowing for greater individual attention and success.

I am a parent who took my daughter out of public school because of the lack of control, consideration and interaction with students. I am more than pleased with The Academy and have been involved in my child's education there from Day 1. There are many opportunities for involvement on both the student and parent level. The size of the classes make for more a personalized learning experience. Although my daughter was not initially pleased with the decision to go into a new school (being unfamiliar with the school, cirriculum, teachers and friends), she is extremely happy now at the Academy and wishes to continue her schooling there. We have no regrets.

As a parent, sending my child to the Academy, I am sad to report that this is the worst school on the island. The school is small and caddy. Teachers have no control over the classes, students are disrespectful. There is much down time that leaves a lot of room for trouble. Be prepared to spend hours at Study Halls. They offer basically no activities. There is little parent involvement. Do not let the physical appearance of the school draw you in, it is a mask, and does not really show how the school function. Kids who are good, get in trouble, kids who are bad get away with their dirty deeds. Kids who attend are not happy to be their and add to the depressing charisma of the school's atmosphere. Public school is better! When teachers are absent there are no subs to watch the class and kids become crazy!
