St. Joseph Catholic School

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Mitchell Elementary School! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we felt the warmth, care, and commitment of the staff and teachers. The school has created such a nurturing environment where children are not only encouraged to learn, but to thrive socially and emotionally as well.The teachers go above and beyond to make learning fun and engaging, always finding creative ways to spark curiosity and support each child’s unique learning style. The leadership team is approachable, communicative, and clearly dedicated to the success of every student.Our child has grown tremendously this year—not just academically, but in confidence and kindness too. The sense of community is strong, and it’s clear that everyone here—from the front office to the classroom—genuinely cares.We feel incredibly grateful to be part of such a positive and inspiring school. If you’re looking for a place where your child will be known, supported, and challenged in all the right ways, look no further!

On oct 8 2025..my daughter who's in 2nd grade at tampa bay...was inappropriate touched by a classmate she told her teacher Kevin caparratto and he did nothing...I called the school the next day..no one has heard about this incident..I was outraged..I finally hear what the teacher says happened and it blew my mind..the teacher Kevin caparratto said the kid touched my daughter on accident I nearly lost my mind..this teacher a white man failed my daughter not once but twice..he failed her by not helping her when she reached out for his help..then to cover up for himself he said it was a accident..so in order for this man Kevin caparratto to say it was a accident. He had to sit and witness my child being violated in his class room..I feel as no kid is safe around Kevin caparratto..this is unbelievable but we all must remember the white man history is and has always been violating women and kids..this is a huge problem ..this teacher must be removed this is a big red flag if he can't protect our kids that means he's a danger to them

Our son had a great experience in Kindergarten last year. The teachers and staff are warm and attentive and genuinely care about the well-being of their students. The principal is forward thinking and has great vision for the school. This is a great close knit community and neighborhood and The school reflects that. If you are looking to move to this neighborhood I highly recommend touring this school. The negative reviews on this site are old and not a reflection of the school today.

Didn’t have a good experience with our kid.

I am not only a parent, but also an alumni of this school. It is a huge 10/10 for me. It taught me many things including respect, discipline, time management, etc. I attribute my success to Villa! My child is supported and truly loved there. They are fair, organized, and push kids to unlock their highest potential. It is truly a Salesian environment!
