It's so disappointing how this school has spiraled downward. The principle has made several changes that many parents are unhappy with. Parents input is ignored and several teachers have either left or been fired.Subsequently, parents have pulled their children out of St. Joseph and enrollment refle
Posted by a parent on 10/23/2015It's difficult to rate this school using a star approach. THIS SCHOOL IS WONDERFUL if you have a "typical child." If your child has any type of hyperactivity disorder and/or attention deficit, BUT DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR AN IEP IN PUBLIC, the school struggles with finding a way to assist. Their way of a
Posted by a community member on 9/25/2013If you have a child who is struggling in any way. Do Not Send Them Here! They cannot and will not help your child. The other principal was awesome. She is no longer there, however. They don't listen to parent concerns or advice either. For parents who pay, make sure they have the resources and the d
Posted by a community member on 9/22/2013This is the best Catholic school in town. The other Catholic schools use a demerit point system for discipline.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would recommend this as one of the best elementary schools in Springfield. Small classes, caring teachers, walkable to neighbors in Woodland Heights, but without the endless busy-ness of a more affluent school. Our kids are flourishing and excelling academically. I credit this largely to the positive atmosphere that encourages a love of learning at his school.Parent Review6y ago - Boyd Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur overall experience at Weller has been great. The kids are rewarded for hard work, supported when they need it, engaged and enriched by genuine teachers, and cared for on a community level beyond what any other school we've attended has done. Before Weller, our kids were bogged down with homework, unhappy and mediocre in their studies, and we had no desire to be involved but now as PTO parents, with kids who are thriving and succeeding beyond the score charts, we couldn't be happier or more grateful for Weller Elementary.Parent Review7y ago - York Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attempted to write a very quality review. Lengthy with lots of info and examples and it never showed on the site. Only principal's name was mentioned and no others so i don't know why it was removed? So now I will simply say Just make the choice not to attend York. Springfield is an open District and you can request a transfer to your choice school within the district (no guarantees of approval but you can at least ask)!Parent Review8y ago - St Agnes Elementary School
