I won't be re-registering my children at St. Catherine's. This is not what I expected from a catholic school that is supposed to set the standard for other schools. This school is definitely not worth the tuition and does not deliver on what the beautiful tri-fold pamphlets claim.

In the late 90's and early 2000's, St. Catherine of Alexandria was one of the premier schools in Riverside, both in terms of academics and community. But in the past five years, a combination of administrative changes and a massive parent exodus have left this school struggling. Unfortunately, the

In a nutshell, St. Catherine's is just not what it used to be. As long as the current regime continues running the school with little regard for 'the little people,' both literally and figuratively, parents should strongly consider looking into several other Catholic school alternatives in Riverside, three of which are less than 10 minutes from St. Catherine's. You'll be happy you did. Read less

We originally came to this school because it was highly recommended by some friends of ours. Unfortuneately, I have been very disappointed with the teachers and academics of the school.
