Posted November 1, 2012

As a new family to the Plymouth area, we did quite a bit of research into the various options available to us. We are confident that we made the right choice sending our two children to SJB. I was extremely pleased to hear the morning announcements praising ladylike and gentlemanly behavior. They celebrate the best in the children, and are instilling a solid education where faith is central in the learning process. Your kids will receive a solid education, with ethics and morals at the core. Our two children have come home with smiles and excitement every day. I am also very impressed by the teachers and thier willingness to sacrifice their time to help the kids. We truly have found a home for our two children for hopefully many years.

St John the Baptist has very caring staff, but cannot accommodate varied student types or learning styles. It is a one size fits all mentality within the classrooms at SJB. Not worth the added tuition expense. Other area school are far superior.

As a graduate of St. John the Baptist I felt confident that my husband and I had made the right decision to send our children to SJB. Our children are in the lower grades so I cannot tell you much about the current way the upper grades work, but I can tell you my boys love the fact that their teachers care. My second grade son has not had a teacher he hasn't liked. How can you not like a teacher who plays the accordian while the kids sing along. My younger son is just starting out in the 4 year kindergarten program. He too, loves his teacher and all that she does for them. She always has a smile on her face and always looks to the positive. We look forward to more years to come for our boys at St. John the Baptist.

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.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
