St. Jerome School

Outstanding academic & spiritual environment! Staff, parents and educators are supportive of shared values and goals as outlined in the school manual.

Grace Chapel is a decent school but the current principal can be unprofessional at times and doesn't always address or try to resolve serious issues that are brought to his attention. There are several teachers, especially in the upper grades, who seem inexperienced. The current fifth grade teacher uses fear and intimidation to manage her classroom. She screams at her students and is a bully to co-workers. There have been several complaints about this teacher and yet she continues to work at this school without any consequences. The middle school has potential but there have been some questionable teachers over the years. Some have quit or been let go mid school year. This is very disruptive to student learning so Grace Chapel needs to do a better job of recruiting more experienced teachers. That being said, there are some amazing, dedicated teachers, especially in the lower grades. Grace Chapel also has a good church program, if that's important to you. Overall I do recommend this school. Proceed with caution, especially if you have a fifth grader. Hopefully the middle school will continue to improve.
