We came from another Catholic School. St. Pius is by far an exceptional Catholic School. The academics exceeded our expectations. This school pushes academics by the way it promotes extracurricular programs. It makes a big deal about the Acadameic Decathalon among other private schools. St. Pius requires all middle school students to prepare and hopefully get picked to participate in the the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair. I am so pleased at the emphasis that the teachers and the parents put on academics. For a private school, little notice is given to name brands, or social status like many private schools. This school and its parents have the right idea on what our focus should be: academics and Catholic values.
This is a great school, my son is a graduate of this school and my daughter currently attends. The principal has been there for a long time, she has an extensive background in teaching and leadership. I am glad my children attended a great school that focuses on academics and christian living. The staff are very united and welcoming, you see them at all the functions. The office people are very professional and pleasant. This school offers tutoring and homework center free of charge. The school is always involved with the community and assists other organizations with donations like St. Vincent's De Paul, orphanages, etc. A very caring community. Their boards are very active and looking for the best interests of the parents and students. Well done St. Pius X!
My 14 year old son gradutated from St. Pius and entered Mater Dei HS last year. I was pleased to find out that our principal (mrs. Hanson) received a call from the principal at Mater Dei HS indicating that for the first time in the history of MD 5 students (out of ten) with top grades in the placement test came from St. Pius, 1st and 2nd place were awarded full scholarships. I still have a 2nd grader enrolled and I am very happy with the school community, the values, discipline, their approach to bullying, dress code, and their commitment to improve the learning experience for the children adding tools and resources.
I am a graduate of St. Pius X and now my daughter attends. She is engaged in her learning, taught Catholic values, enjoys music, art, and computer lab and is enrolled in after school sports. Mrs. Hanson the principal takes the time to talk to the students and the parents, she is never too busy. The teachers are highly motivated and qualified. We love St. Pius x!
