Just wondering who these supposed "elite" families are - never came across any that I would label as such.

This is an excellent school. We have grandchildren in 3 different elementary schools all in the suburbs. St. Patricia's is a 5 star school based on our experiences.

St. Patricia is an awesome school. I have 2 young children (1st and 3rd grade) in the school and each child is excelling in their classes. There is a strong sense of community, and parents who want to be involved are welcome to do so. There are no 'elite families' who run the school (maybe those who say that wouldn't be able to get along with anyone). I am involved in the school, and I am certainly not in an 'elite' family. The teachers are caring and invested in the education of the children. The children at St. Patricia are well prepared and disiplined. If you believe in catholic education and you want your child to have the best, than St. Patricia School is an investment you should make!! Carrie D.

I graduated from this school, and though it gave me a solid foundation to build upon (I am now married and have a great job!) I can say in all honesty that it is not what it used to be. My nieces still attend school here, and it is evident the academic standard has dropped very low. The school's enrollment rate has taken such a beating that there was talk and still is of closing the school down. (I work for the archdicese). And the other parents are right- the 'elite' families make it difficult to fit in and find a place within the community.

We test kids at the end of the year and beginning. Kids that don't keep up during the summer take a giant step backwards. If our kids do complain about homework, we ask them,"Do you want to work for a company, or own the company?"

No. Let the children have a break. Let their minds focus on being children. They'll have plenty of homework when they go back to school. I would not even consider enforceing summer homework for my children. They need stress free playtime.

Yes. Of course summer is for fun however they can take a brake from homework 2 weeks or so, not the whole summer. If you teach a child the importance of learing they will enjoy the homework even in the summer.
