The review that said that St. Joe's is a school for families with money is unfortunate. I'm not bias either way, but I do know that this school, like all Catholic schools give away tuition assistance dollars each and every year - many families need that money to send their child. Over 60-70 % receive

Educational part of this school is pretty good. However, my child was there for 3 yrs and the principal never introduced himself to me and is not very active with the parents unless they had a lot of monetary and/or time donations to give. Majority of parents are unfriendly. They make you and your

The teachers for the most part were helpful to the students but as far as the atmosphere, it was maybe a 3/10. Bottom line, if you are not extremely wealthy, I would not reccommend this school. It is strictly for people with money, not those who want their child to have a good catholic education. Read less
