Our children started their schooling at another local diocesan school. For years their standardized tests showed them to be just above average. This seemed very odd since both had straight A's on their report cards year after year. It did not add up to us. We switched schools and after 2 years at St.

There should be no reason why straight A students score average on the national tests. Our kids test scores are now in line with the national tests and we attribute that to St. Pauls, its teachers and Ms. Joanne Leskanic (the new school principal) who is bringing in the correct books, supplemental materials and encouraging teachers, students and staff. We are thrilled to be a part of this community. Read less

I sadly read the last post. Simply untrue. We are baptists. Our son has attended St. Pauls for three years. Never has he, nor any member of our family, been treated any differently.

Our son is a member of the boys basketball team and the boys softball team. Our niece is on the girls soccer team and a member of the National Junior Honor Society. This school offers every activity sanctioned by the diocese. We have been asked to help raise funds, as all schools do. No more, no less. The previous post sounds suspect. Anti-catholic? The focus is always onthe kids! Great School. Read less

The administration has implemented advanced reader and, soon , advanced math. The Pastor is a blessing. He has his fingers on the day to day operations of the school and Parish and he has prioritized education. St Pauls is everything a parent expects from a Catholic school. Make it a point to tour the school and meet the teachers and the adminsitration. Read less

St. Paul's is very lucky to have acquired such a great teaching staff and in addition, a wonderful new principal, Joann Leskanic. She has brought the school together this year in many ways.

Many of our graduates are still doing very well at BKHS and BJSHS as well as public schools they are attending.
