My children have been attending St Elizabeth since 2006, and I am very impressed with the school. I was thinking about enrolling my children in the school for years, but I wasn't sure it would be a good fit because my extensive work schedule. After enrolling my kids it has served as a second home on

Some of the teachers give out their cell phone numbers therefore, if my daughter can't remember her assignment. A few of the teachers are at the school from the time that I drop my daughter off in the morning at 6:30 to 6:00pm when my husband picks them up. Both my son and daughters state test scores have increased a great deal since starting St. Elizabeth! It is a very good school. Read less

I have two children enrolled at St. Elizabeth. I wanted to enroll my children in Catholic school for years and thought it was out of my price range. I looked into St. Elizabeth and realized I can afford this school, but then I questioned if it was a decent school or not. I just waited outside the school

It's unheard of that a school with prices like these offer students a computer lab, classrooms with computers, music class, and small class sizes. The building is in need of repairs which they appear to be doing however, if it weren't located near a train station you might be afraid to park your car. The neighborhood seems to be poorer than I first noticed. Read less

I have found that quality of education has dramatically decreased over the years. I have two children educated there; they are five years apart. When my oldest child started there the average classroom size was 15-20 students, and there were two classes for each grade. By the time my youngest started,
... Read more there were only two grades with two classes each. Now there is only one class per grade with an average of approx. 30 students. As far as academics are concerned, gifted students are given the utmost attention and encouragement, while struggling students are simply overlooked and passed on (despite tutoring programs offered by the school). Quite a few of the staff members are unprofessional and speak inappropriately to students without any reprimand. In addition, the school is in great need of repairs. They are all about money, but I'm currently in search of another school that is worth paying for. Read less
