The Covey

This is hands down, the best school in PV district. They have an amazing STEAM program, great resources for students like a counselor, psychologist, PT, OT, Speech, reading specialist, and so much more. We were amazed how much they want every child to win. They look to treat each student as an individual and do their best to cater to their needs, rather than putting the student in a box. We came from another PV school and it was nothing like this. We’re so thankful we moved to DSES, even though it’s out of our boundaries and we have to drop off/pick up every day (we help carpool so it works out now). They have amazing teachers, staff, and an incredible principal. Lastly, it seems their PTA is heavily involved in making sure teachers are appreciated and the community is involved with events. The only downside is parking can be frustrating at times, but even when that was brought up, the PTA and Principal showed up to try and figure out new procedures. A+ for DSES

NR is more than a school, it's a community! My children love going to school every day, and absolutely love their teachers. The staff and principal are very communicative, which helps a lot in the crazy world we live in. I feel my kids are safe and in good hands. The school events are so fun.

We made the switch to St. John three years ago, leaving behind another nearby Catholic school, and have found it to be a substantial upgrade. The academics are more challenging, and the school's commitment to in-depth learning is evident in its weekly social studies and science curriculum spanning kindergarten to eighth grade. The school operates with remarkable organization, and the principal's emphasis on regular teacher-parent communication is praiseworthy.
