St.leo's was the worst school ever. I graduated from there almost 3 years ago. I had the worst experiences there and I don't even want to go back there to visit. This school is a big joke.

The new principle has made it worse than before. St.Leo's has become like a public school rather than a good catholic school. You pay so much money..for what? Absolutely nothing, I learned nothing there. Read less

It's just up to your child along with your support to take advantage of it. Read less

For whom is St.Leo's the appropriate school? For parents who want a faith-based experience for their children.
