We have had children at St Joe's for nearly 15 years. Overall we have been more than pleased with school and parish. We are looking forward to the changes in administration. We have made the choice to get involved and we feel that our entire family has reaped benefits from our involvement. We don't

We have chosen a Catholic education for our children because we want our children to be educated with like minded children, to be allowed and encouraged to talk about God, faith, morals and values. The community is supportive and willing to go the extra mile for their children. Read less

Our family moverd here over 10 years ago. Upon joining St. Joes, we were pleased with both the school and parish. We came from a catholic school that was much bigger, and had more money. We found that St. Joes was very comparable to our previous school. We are still pleased with St. Joes and believe
... Read more our children have received an education that is comprable to other area Catholic schools. St. Joes has a great network of parents who are very friendly and welcoming to all. The school does need some faculty changes. But as pointed out to us, there are only so many teachers willing to teach for what a Catholic school can pay! Over all, St. Joes is a good school with even more potential to come! Read less

We have felt very welcome at St.Joseph. For the most part everyone has been very friendly and kind. As in any social situation you are going to have exceptions.I do feel there are changes that need to be made concerning some of the discipline policies. It would be great if we get some help in the academic

I am sorry to see that not everyone's experience has been as favorable as my own.

We have 3 children at St. Joe's and are in our 6th year there. We are happy with the school in general but are looking forward to a new principal next year to make some changes in staff and policy. Yes there are unhappy families but that can be found at any school. My children attend the Fox summer

The school does an excellent job of weaving our Catholic teachings throughout all lessons which is the main reason we want them in a Catholic school.

I love St. Joseph's school!!! I send my kid's there so that God is apart of there everyday not just at home or at church on Sundays. I am pleased with the curriculum. I think we are aware and match up with our public counterparts. I have looked into it and in many cases we are right with the rest
... Read more of schools in the surrounding areas. Where I think St. Joseph needs to focus on is including the parents in on policy and asking them what there opinions are. There is a Home and School meeting every Tues. but the only things that can be discussed is the distribution of the money this organization raises. The real underlying issues are avoided and only add to the negativity surrounding our school. Our school needs to focus on a functional resource room rather that keeping up tech wise (ie; smart boards!!!!) Read less

Absolutly horrible school. My child only went there one year and I put her back in public school. They are very unwelcoming and my child could never fit in. There is no 'enforced' bully policy at this school. Furthermore, the principle, refuses to release the student MAPP test scores. The reasons why?

However the principal does not care what your issues are with the school. My daughter is now enjoying school again. While attending St. Josephs, she came home crying ever single day because she got left out. St. Josephs school was the worse mistake I could have ever made. Read less
