Posted by a parent on 6/10/2026Mi hija ha sido muy feliz en este colegio, los profesores y todos los colaboradores están siempre atentos a las necesidades de los niños, los guían con disciplina positiva y mucho respeto. Los niños en este colegio entran y salen felices.
Posted by a parent on 2/27/2020Great teachers, good location, positive environment, and a clear mix of a predominantly white community and a significant percentage of Hispanic population, specially Colombians
Posted by a parent on 4/16/2018My son was having difficulty with writing and they came right in and helped get him extra classroom aids to assist and had my husband and I in meetings on how to get our son back on track. He has since progressed, but the school keeps a watchful eye on him and they are always there to listen to us
Posted by a parent on 2/15/2017Central Avenue is not what I was expecting. They are not flexible and are not able to deliver personalized education. If you son/ daughter does not fit into the standard, they (principal - the new one - and teacher) are not just un able to handle and work with the difference, they don't understand i

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSaint Patrick School in Chatham is truly a hidden gem in the world of elementary education. From its rigorous academic curriculum to its strong emphasis on social and emotional development, this school offers a remarkably well-rounded and enriching experience for children.What sets Saint Patrick apart is its deep commitment to academic excellence while nurturing the whole child. Students are challenged to think critically, communicate effectively, and grow intellectually, all within a supportive and faith-centered environment. At the same time, the school recognizes the importance of emotional intelligence, kindness, and resilience—qualities that are woven into daily life and learning.The community at Saint Patrick is nothing short of extraordinary. It feels more like a family than a school. Parents, teachers, and staff collaborate closely, fostering a warm and inclusive environment where every child is known and valued. Beyond the classroom, the school offers a wide range of social opportunities—from clubs and sports to family events and service projects—that help children build lasting friendships and a strong sense of belonging.In a time when many families are seeking both academic rigor and meaningful community, Saint Patrick School stands out as a tremendous value. It offers an exceptional education grounded in strong values, preparing students not just for the next grade, but for life.Highly recommended for any family looking for more than just a school—Saint Patrick is a place where children truly thrive.Parent Review1y ago - St Vincent Martyr School
