I attended St Joseph's School 20 years ago. I currently have 2 daughters enrolled there. I must say the school is 100x better than when I was there. I am so proud of the progress my daughters have made. My oldest has been on the honor roll the whole time she's been there. The principal is wonderful.

The attention that we receive from the staff is incredible! You can be sure that the teachers are here to teach because it comes from the heart and not because they want a paycheck.

St. Joseph's school has been a great experience for both of my children. I'm very happy with the leadership of the principal. She conducts herself in a professional manner and has an open door policy for parents to come and speak to her. The staff and teachers are very friendly and the students feel

We shouldn't expect for teachers to do our jobs as parents. If we want our children to succeed we need to stay involved and take responsibility. The principal, teachers and staff can't do all the work and they should'nt have to. St Joseph's School has helped my kids accomplish many of their goals, it's a great school that exceeds my expectations. Read less
