Through the Diocese there is a scholarship program that helps those with financial difficulties send their children to St. Pat's. For the parents who complain that 'all the teaching

My daughter is in Third grade and has had a wonderful experience. Saint Patricks provides a loving, safe environment for children while nurturing their faith.

My child has gone to St. Patrick's School since pre-K, and is now in the upper grades there. Overall, the experience has been good, and the school's shortcomings (a small number of incompetent teachers, scant intervention for below average and above average students, a dedicated principal who unilaterally

One myth that keeps getting restated about this school is that the students score higher than the public school district on the standardized tests. St. Patrick's has no socioeconomically or culturally disadvantaged students or ESL (English as a Second Language) students in attendance, as does the school district in which it is located, and therefore comparing the standardized test scores is not a valid comparision.

St Pat's students scrore higher than all the other public schools in Huntington. Some parents just cannot handle the demand, and those who cannot obviously become intimidated and pull their kids out rather than working through the problem.

St. Patrick's school is at most,average in regards to acedemics. The staff in the front office is totally unapproachable and extremely rude to the parents.

St Patricks school needs very much to focus on treating the children who attend , as well as the parents who pay them , with alot more respect. For a school claiming to teach the principles of catholicism , maybe they need to relearn what that really means. Of course there are some good teachers at the school but mostly not great. Read less

St. Patrick's provides superior academic programs on all levels. Its state test scores are quite high (competitive with CSH) and its faculty is fabulous (all NYS certified).
