The teachers are caring and gain respect of their students through connecting with students interests. The school piovides Superior academics and fun extra activities. 5th graders are given the opportunity to portray a hero in their eyes through participating in an annual wax museum.

I lived in Gadsden just under 3 year,sadly wish it was longer, but while my kids went here it was amazing. I Know Alabama gets knocks because many schools rank way below national average but this school was great. Had to move back to the Midwest, unfortunately, and when my kids started school here they were about half a grade ahead of their classmates coming from Eura.

We moved to AL and this school and staff was amazing :) should have a higher rating

Great school! Caring staff! Beautiful school and campus!!

My child has been attending St James for 3 years now and my family and I love it! My niece is also apart of the St. James and it's like one big happy family at this school. The teachers are wonderful and will work with your child.

This is a fantastic school. The faculty and staff treat you as if you are a part of the family and provide excellent care for the children. There is after-school care for those parents whom work past school hours. My son has been at this school since K4 and is in the 2nd grade now and he loves it. The curriculum is also great; there is a wide range of knowledge that is provided to each individual child. If you do not believe me, go tour the school for yourself; you will not be disappointed.
