As a concerned parent, I feel compelled to share my deeply frustrating and disheartening experience with St. James High School. Despite its reputation as an institution of learning, I have encountered an alarming lack of communication and limited teacher accountability that has left me deeply disappointed and concerned for my child's education.One of the most glaring issues I have encountered at St. James High School is the abysmal level of communication between the school and parents. It is as if the administration operates within its own bubble, oblivious to the concerns and inquiries of the families entrusting their children's education to their care. Phone calls and emails often go unanswered for days, if not weeks, leaving parents in a constant state of uncertainty and frustration.When attempting to address issues with individual teachers, the lack of accountability becomes even more apparent. My attempts to have meaningful conversations with teachers about my child's progress, academic challenges, or even simple questions about assignments have been met with apathy and indifference. It seems that teachers at St. James High School are reluctant to engage in constructive dialogue with parents, failing to understand that collaboration between home and school is essential for a student's success.Moreover, the limited teacher accountability at St. James High School is disconcerting. When problems arise, teachers often deflect responsibility or are quick to dismiss legitimate concerns. It is as if they are immune to any form of critique, and any attempts to hold them accountable are met with defensiveness and resistance. This lack of accountability not only hampers the growth and development of our children but also fosters an environment of mediocrity, where excellence and improvement take a back seat.Furthermore, the school's lackluster response to addressing these issues is deeply concerning. Despite numerous complaints from parents and an apparent awareness of the communication and accountability problems, the administration seems content with maintaining the status quo. Their failure to take decisive action and implement necessary changes demonstrates a lack of dedication to the well-being and academic success of the students.

Very highly recommended but unable to give 100% raving review due to the car line drop off practices. Most of the school is car riders so pick up and drop off is a nightmare.

My Daughter went to St James and she loved it. The teachers and staff that I dealt with were as accommodating as possible and kept us well informed.

We love this school! We arrived in the middle of the school year and were well received! All attentive and competent!
