This school has many positives- it provides low teacher to student ratios, an excellent science program and lab, hot lunch every day, honors math and many sports activities. My children attended this school for 4 years until my daughter graduated and we moved. My children are now in public school
... Read more in a top ranked public school system and I can tell you that they were very well prepared for the public school curriculum. My oldest is in Honors in many of her courses. Prior to this school, we had been at another Catholic School in the area and I can say for a fact that the education we received at St. Francis Cabrini was by far superior. The priest is very involved and knows each child by name as well as the parents. Where else can you find this kind of environment? Read less

The environment of this school is very negative. There is little opportunity for accelerated children to excel and almost no services for struggling children. They claim to provide a great education but it cannot compare to the opportunities offered at the local public schools. The teacher quality

I pulled my children out of this school and I know of many families who have done the same. My children were way behind when they entered public school and they were at the top of their respective classes at SFC. Read less
