Just recently enrolled son after leaving another catholic school that we felt did not treat my son fairly. St. Roberts welcomed him with open arms, he was only there a week and what a difference it made. The kids were so accepting of him, the staff was wonderful and so accommodating to us. The Principal from the moment he spoke was so caring and calming to me through this hard transition. The new teacher called me and let me know how my son was adjusting, saying nothing but positive things about him. I am sad to say he has to leave for circumstances which are out of our control, but with that being said, they tried to help us stay in. If you choose this school for your children you will never regret it. Only regret leaving as we are absolutely heart broken.
I attended since the 3rd grade and was stifled by my experience. The teachers were lackluster at best and often relied too heavily on prepared tests rather than learning or devising their own material. I was also in a family of divorce and financial trouble and after this experience I became distanced from the Church because of the treatment I received at this school. Mr. James however was a decent teacher who had a kind ear though his methods were not always the best. I would not send my child here.
This is a top notch school with many high points: reading programs, library staff and 'families' where 1 student from each grade learn from each other.
I also disagree with the April 15th posting. I went to that school K-8 and my experience (overall) was positive. There have been times where my views conflicted with Mr. James, the principal; however, the educational program is worth it.
