St. Patrick School and has the best parents, teachers, staff, and volunteers, which makes for one of the most wonderful school communities in Dallas!

This school is amazing! I love going here and all the teachers and staff are very caring but at the same time want students to be self-sufficient. I don't recommend going to this school if you don't want to work hard!

Both of my daughters attended this school through the 8th grade and went on to a highly acclaimed high school and both then graduated from colleges magna cum laude. I attribute their success to the Catholic education they recieved at St. Patrick and the catholic high school they attended.

the bullying and moral issues are way out of line and have little consequence to the student. some parents and students are very clickish be ware. some of the upper classes teacher contracts were renewed by outgoing principle. she shouldn't been allowed to do so but, they looked the other way! this is common pratice at this school. in all fairness the new principal is working to fix things but it will take a while

I cannot say enough praise about this school. We moved here temporarily and were welcomed with open arms. It is not just the teachers and staff that make this school so great, but the families and loving environment as well. Parent involvement is extremely high and the academics will keep your kids on there toes. My daughter had Mrs. Oge' in PreK-4 whom she loved. My son had Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Buechel in first grade. I loved that they each took different subjects and gave the kids an opportunity to experience both of these wonderful teachers. Thank you St. Pat's we will miss you.

St Pat's is an academically rigorous school with lots of options for children who are either above average students or average students with very good parental support. Education and activities up through the 5th grade are led by wonderful, caring teachers and staff. 6th through 8th grade are very challenging and children should be prepared to work independently. Children with pronounced learning differences will have a hard time with the curriculum. Children who are self motivated, interested in studying and challenging their horizons will be able to achieve. Children graduating from St. Pats are very well prepared for the challenges of private high schools in the area. Parents are very involved; Catholic spiritual foundation is strong and getting stronger, providing a solid moral foundation for kids today who will certainly have a lot of challenges in their adolescent years.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
