When he graduated, he was extremely well prepared for high school academically, but even more important, he had been in an environment where he was safe, happy and had learned to value and respect others.

St. Anthony is the pits. Anything past second grade isn't worth the money. The preschool 3 teachers Ms. Terri and Ms. Joy are great as well as Ms. Bajon the second grade teacher. The principal has been there for 41 years and still run the school like time has not changed. Issues are not addressed

Administration needs updating and the faculty needs restructuring and should match the student body. The teachers past second grade does not seem to have the best interest of the students in mind.

I am a native New Orlenian who now lives in Houston. My daughter attended St. Anthony of Padua before we moved. If we hadn't moved, she would still be there.
