I love this school! My three children have been attending St. Christopher. My oldest child will be graduating from 8th grade this May. She will truly miss this school. We love the rigorous academic program here and most of all, the religion classes. The principal, staff, and teachers are very caring. They know every single child by name and everyone is part of this great family. St. Chistopher has provided my children with a quality religious education and has instilled in them high moral values. I would definetely recommend this school to other families.

I had a very dissapointing experience in this school. Other than it being very cheap and making you sell raffle tickets, the teachers only cared about themselves and, if you were behind on something, you are in trouble, because the teachers never tutored. You are expected to understand everything, which is no big deal. The really troubling thing was that you were to attend church on Wednesday, and if you're in, you're not going out. I vomited in the restroom and had to wait a half hour until church was finished. If you want your child to be in this school because its "great" but aren't into religion, do yourself a big favor and go to the school further down park place.

This is my son's 2nd yr, he is in 1st grade. We love the higher curriculum standards & early theology lessons. Being an only child we love the difference we have seen in his self esteem & building sound Christian relationships with his classmates. Staff is very caring and conscious about every child. We will do everything in our power to keep him there until 8th grade.

I am so glad that i found this school....it's only five minutes from my job and the staff is wonderful. They participate in great fundraising activities that keep the chidren and most importantly the parents involved. My only bad feeling about the school is the mandatory collection of box tops and selling of raffel tickets. Aside from that the uniforms are highly priced but okay quality.

My son just started Pre-K3 in the fall of 2003. The teachers and staff made me feel very comfortable leaving my son for the first time. The staff knows each student's and parent's name. Everyone is very friendly. Most of the parents are very involved in the fundraisers and with any activity being held. My child has gone on 2 field trips so far to see plays which he absolutely loved. I had no idea a 3 year old would like going to plays. I would recommend this school 100%.

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.
