Money well spent....As an administrator at the secondary level, I know what I want for my children. SFA provides the perfect environment for inquisitive, eager to learn children. They learn in a safe, nurturing environment. With only 2 years to go before HS, my children are well prepared in a cross

My 4 year old just finished her first year at St Francis of Assisi. I was worried about her because she was really apprehensive about going to school where she knew no one, and having started two months after the other students. It took her exactly one day to be completely comfortable there. From the

She has truly blossomed in a few short months. She learned many things she had not previously known while in attendance at daycare. She started writing her name,learned about weather, and hibernation, speaking Spanish and started using computers! I am very impressed with St Francis of Assisi so far. My daughter keeps saying she misses school. I feel like it is worth the money. Her teacher Ms. Brennan was especially great. Read less

My 3 children have been in this school since preschool. We have now been with the school for 6 years. I can't say enough about it, it is truly wonderful. The school is like a family, the teachers are very involved and easy to communicate with. The principle has an open door policy and is a great

The public schools are losing teachers every year due to pay cuts. Their classrooms are getting very large. Their books and suppiles are showing their age and they are not getting support from town $$$ wise. SFA is constantly updating the academic programs, the building, the supplies. I feel fortunate to have found such a wonderful teaching evironment for my children. Read less

I think that for the amount of money parents pay in tuition, the classroom sizes are definitely too big. I have had friends, whose kids are in surrounding public schools, who don't pay a dime tell me that the class sizes are much smaller. There were times last year when my son would come home complaining
... Read more that he didn't understand the subject matter that was taught, etc. Of course not, because a teacher with that many students cannot possibly devote that much time to one on one attention. Additionally, I am not impressed with the principal. She doesn't take criticism well and seems to forget that she has a job because of us parents who send our kids there. I went to parochial schools as a child and no difference between one that's first rate and one that is not. The school is not deserving of its reputation and is overrated. Read less
