My son is in the junior high and loves his teachers. He's been at St. Pat's for 3 or 4 years now and everyone has bent over backwards to accomodate his needs. I just don't understand some of the other reviewers comments and felt the need to let others know that many of us are happy here at St. Pat's.

My son is in pre-K here, and he loves it. The teachers are very attentive, and provide a great environment for the kids to learn and grow. My only complaint is that they are rather lenient with the students who misbehave or do not listen. Granted this is only pre-K though, so you can only be strict
