While it is a beautiful new school, the staff and students make it awful. My daughter has now attended 3 schools. This is the first where students bully her on a regular basis, call her every name in the book and was recently told by a boy that he would "break in to our house and k**l her and her family". No homework is sent out. Only a book to read and the solution is for you to fix it at home. Pick up after school is chaotic. I give Roosevelt a 2 rating. I highly doubt not recommend the school.

I went to this school Kindergarten-9th grade. Elementary was the best part little drama, made so many friends, and felt safe and excited to go to school, but one junior high hit, it was a disaster. 60% of teachers don’t care about bullying or violence, not one did I feel safe going to school, male teachers walked into bathroom multiple times, a TA was texting a student, the principal was horrible, for my experience with the principal is my sister had multiple times she was sick, she was sick for over 2 months, we got doctors notes, the principal sent out a message to my parents threatening them she’s going to call CPS for how many absences my sister has, after that my sister had to do homeschooling. The school had way to much bullying, harassment, violence, and drugs. I’ve gotten searched multiple times just because I was in the bathroom at the wrong time when someone was doing drugs or vaping. I have more experiences, but I generally don’t recommend having you’re kids going here, It’s a bad place at least from my experiences.

St. Joseph Catholic Elementary is a wonderful school! My son attended from Pre-3 through 8th grade, and we have no regrets. He graduated from 8th grade happy, prepared for high school (and beyond), and feeling supported. The greater St. Joe community is also incredible -- a group of really passionate, involved, engaged, neat people! Given that it's a Catholic school, we also loved its focus on character, faith, and values -- principles that are just missing from public schools. Would 100% recommend!

The teacher has been great, but the administration is horrible. My son is regularly talked down to by the vp and principal. When taking with the principal over the phone, she will interrupt you regularly and then hang up when you ask her not to. Unfortunately the bullying that occurs from the management team does not outweigh the teacher's wonderful and patient approach.
