After a year, I can say that I am well pleased with St Joseph. My child has learned more in her first year than I did in my first three in advanced classes. I have come to know not only the children in her class, but many of the others. As a whole, they are respectful and polite. Something I have
... Read more never seen in a public school. It is a small school and has challenges because it. Extra-circular activities are few, but the school works with community resources to help parents find sport leagues and activities. The parent organization raises money so the school can attend concerts or pay for performances at the school. More importantly, talk about sex, drugs, and cursing that I learned in public elementary school, is not there. Love and respect is though. Read less

St. Joe's was a big disappointment for me and my family. I thought it would be great to send my girls to a small close-knit Catholic school and I was wrong. My oldest daughter was picked on by her peers; my youngest daughter's kindergarten teacher would not communicate with me on several occasions and

I finally took them out and started homeschooling them and they are doing just fine. They are eager to learn; are bright and happy children again. St. Joseph's was not the best place for the girls or me; I tried to fit in as well and volunteer for as much as I could and now we don't even feel comfortable at St. Joseph Church either. Read less

Thank God for such a great learning atmosphere. My children left the public school system which was brutal and are happy and doing much better academically as well as learning the word of God.

No words can describe how wonderful the administrative staff is. They take care of our children as if the they were their own. They are fair and do not judge. My children feel loved and wanted everyday. My oldest son doesn't want summer to come because he loves school. What does that say about the atmosphere there? Parent involvement is great. Title 1, P.E., Art, Music and Religion round out the educational programs nicely. THANKS AGAIN. Read less
