It is a first year here for my family. This is the public school that is more like a private school. It does give a family feel appeal.

Posted by a parent on 9/11/2024This is a fantastic school. My kids come home with smiles on their faces every day. They are really flourishing here, we are so happy we have chosen Taft as our school for our out kids.
Posted by a parent on 10/21/2017Taft has been the family-feel, small school atmosphere we were hoping for. My children have thrived here. My oldest is now a freshman at LTHS and is taking ALL honors classes. He never would've been able to qualify for such a challenging load of courses without the foundation that Taft gave him. A d

Posted by a parent on 6/16/2017Small class sizes make it easy for my kids to get extra help when they need it. The teachers care and so many of the families do too. You get to know each other well. You feel safer knowing that everyone is looking out for each other.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love the school community. Both the staff and the parents are welcoming and loving. The teachers are effective at teaching the kids to be respectful, responsible, and God-centered. We had amazing leadership this past year so that the students could return to school. I highly recommend you check out this school.Parent Review4y ago - St Joseph Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWelcome to the new SJS! We love the new administration and teachers! They have been wonderful and my kids actually enjoy going to school. We have been very happy with the curriculum and the smaller class sizes allow for individual attention if needed. My children have enjoyed all the sports offered throughout the year (cross country, basketball, volleyball, and coed volleyball). There is a very active parents club, who provide fun activities throughout the year. We came to the school for the education, but the community of families adds to the reason we have stayed. We have made life long friends at SJS.Parent Review4y ago - Lupine Montessori School
