As a student of St. John Neumann School, I am proud to say that this school is my second home. I read some reviews, and I am disappointed at one of them. Okay, number one, religion is taught from 1-8 grade. It shows that it's very much important at the school. And there is an excellent sports program.

As of this writing (9/5/08), I have mixed feelings about SJN . I was disappointed to find class sizes exceeding 25 kids, and the lack of leadership from the former principal was frustrating, but she has retired (thankfully). The school is cliquish, but that's the case everywhere. SJN is VERY focused

That said, I'm fine w/this b/c we're looking for a high caliber education, and we're getting it. If you're not committed to your kid's education, put them in public school and roll the dice. You get what you pay for. I like the Catholic environment, and the other parents @ SJN share our values. Our friend in public school envy SJN's closeness & sense of community. Plus, our kids are way ahead of the public school kids (call me elitist). Read less

I was curious to see what others thought of SJN and was quite surprised. Obviously everyone and every child is different. However, speaking from a parent who was very involved in the school and who's child had learning difficulties; I found the school extremely helpful to me and incredibly caring towards

But know this - eventhough the school knew I was leaving - they (more than one teacher) took the time to 'go out' to the school I was interested in on their own time to give me their feed back! Seriously, who does that? Yes, it is a school that focuses on academics - it is a prep school! But for the $, you are certainly getting a bargain! The children that come out of this school are amazing kids. Prepared for HS! Read less

This school does not have a welcoming or happy environment for parents and children. Most of the administration and a few teachers are rude to parents.

When it comes to classroom behavior if your child does not fit the 'cookie-cutter mold', as most parents here put it, the school does not want your child in the school.

Volunteers are excluded unless they are in the 'in' clique. The school does not have any forum to resolve parent complaints or concerns. Read less

When all is said and done, this is a wonderful education for your child. Unfortunately, here is the downside to attending, the teachers are burnt out.
