This is a fabulous school. We have two kids that went there in the past few years.
Posted by a parent on 8/2/2024I went here and have been lucky enough to send all three kids through, too. All three have different learning styles and personalities. There is a teacher and style for all the kiddos regardless of these traits. Most notable is the attention given to one who has needed reinforcement most. He was at
Posted by a parent on 9/10/2019This school has been awesome! Our child has attended 3rd-6th. Teachers are great and staff is always a pleasure to interact with. Compared with other schools along the coast, this one has been the best about everything: i.e. keeping costs of lunches practical, fund raising within reason, fun after s
Posted by a parent on 2/1/2018I have had a one child attending for almost 10 years now. I've been heavily involved in the PSO/Cardiff SEA and not involved at all. We've gone through ups and downs, IEP testing, disciplinary issues, and just like a family, the staff, administration and especially the teachers have always worked in

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son had a wonderful K year here. The small class size allows for truly personalized learning, as well as great social emotional development support. I appreciate that I know he is learning from 2 trained teachers as opposed to parent volunteers public schools often depend on to supplement the 1 classroom teachers. In addition to typical curriculum, the kids have daily specialists including art, music, Spanish, PE, library, gardening and drama. They have monthly field trips and a very active school community with tons of opportunities for parent/family involvement. And there is a big focus as well on social emotional learning. I have not seen any issues with bullying, problems with disruptions in the class, etc. Recently we ran into a few 4th graders that are the K's reading buddy class and the "big kids" were so sweet talking to and playing with my son and his friends. It really epitomizes what we have seen - it is just a great student body and small enough it really feels like a community. I have seen comments about the administration being bad but that hasn't been my experience. I have always gotten responses to any email or call and they do a good job communicating. And I love that the teachers make themselves available for parents to reach out directly. The principal even stands outside every morning greeting all the students by name!Parent Review4y ago - St John Catholic School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am writing this review purely as a heads up to any parents of neurodivergent and/or special needs kids thinking of St John. We are heavily involved in the church and it was our hope to send our son to St John School. We invested lots of time and resources to making this happen. Our son has mild autism and adhd, which we were honest about up front. After three days of kindergarten, they told us they did not have resources for him and we were forced to unenrolled him. I am thankful this happened after three days instead of three months, however, we were led to believe they had resources to accommodate him. They boast about their learning specialists program on their website and have awards for inclusion displayed in the front office. Thankfully, we were refunded some tuition, but spent over $1000 in fees and uniforms and put in a lot of emotional effort making connections with other families. If your child has a diagnosis or IEP of any kind, I encourage you to keep your options open and ask a lot of questions. We are now happily enrolled in Encinitas Public Schools.Parent Review7mo ago - Encinitas Country Day School
