4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe worst school I’ve ever seen in my life, I regret enrolling my kids in this school , supervisor in this school unprofessional behavior no responsible person … your kid will definitely get a lot of problems in this school and no one will call you or tell you what happened , they don’t care about your kid , kids fighting in their rest time many times and there is no teachers around them , no education programs Nothing good to say about them, the worst supervisor ever … It was my life mistake to enroll my kids in this schoolParent Review1y ago - St Sebastian Catholic School
