All you have to do is read the reviews written by SJCDS students and note the misspellings and grammatical errors to understand what has happened to this school.

WIth the change in administration three years ago, decisions at the school are now made more often based upon the donation power of those involved instead of the ethical implications of decisions. Athletics take priority over academics and unruly students are tolerated

It's a shame that what was once an excellent college prepartory program has been reduced to being merely an expensive alternative to public education, and not a great alternative at that. Read less
