Seventh Ave Elementary School

St Francis Xavier School is a special place. I truly appreciate the academic, spiritual and service standards that my daughters live by each day.

Terrible safety issues. Teacher was rude to children. They also take money out of your account months after you remove your child because “they forgot to delete your account” Go elsewhere, they don’t care about your kid/s, they care more about your money. I emailed the Principal and never heard from him. Terrible leadership.

The teachers and staff are wonderful. They hear our concerns and have made changes accordingly. The curriculum is challenging and the extracurricular activities are diverse and allow the children to try different things. We love it!

As someone who came from teaching at a public school, my mind was blown by how respectful the students are, how involved the parents are, and how community-oriented a Catholic school can be. The administration is excellent, always available to assist teachers, even when they themselves have a lot on their plates. The focus on student success is great, with standardized test prep, and making sure teachers are giving rigorous lesson. While there’s always drama at any school, the students really are like family, and conflicts are very rare. I really can’t recommend enough sending your child to this school or working it at it.
