My son has been here since 2023. He is in an ESE classroom; the teacher and paraprofessionals are just wonderful. He has come so far since coming to this school.

This school is staffed with caring and compassionate people who want to see kids succeed. I have a kid who goes there also i have worked there as a substitute. The people who work at this school are excellent.

The school handled my child’s health concern very poorly. An office assistant posing as a nurse minimized her symptoms, communication was confusing, and pickup procedures were disorganized and dismissive. When I raised the issue with the principal, she was defensive and showed no empathy. This experience left me questioning both the school’s professionalism and concern for student safety.

This is a poor school run by a head administrator who treats the institution like her personal fiefdom. There is a severe lack of communication regarding discipline standards, and she is only consistent in how she mistreats parents and students she personally dislikes.While the school professes to have a parent-teacher association, the original organization was actually dissolved several years ago and rolled into a personal arm of the administrator. Furthermore, there are very few extracurricular activities, no active sports programs, and a completely lackadaisical approach to physical education.The only positive aspects of the school are its strong academics, including a curriculum grounded in Catholic Classical social teachings and the associated parish. These educational and spiritual foundations are the sole reasons this school garnered even a single star. However, the academics are overshadowed by poor leadership. I strongly do not recommend St. John Catholic Academy until they remove the current head administrator and hire a properly qualified person for the position.
