St Patrick School

Horrible school. Stay away. Lacks diversity. If you minority parent, they will look at you crazy. Bullies are not addressed or take accountability.

As a former student I can assure the disregard for students’ emotional well being is a common issue at SPS. Back in early 2010’s the bullying amongst classmates was brutal and sadly administrators did not care to deal with it. Swept under the rug in an almost literal sense. Unfortunately the victims of bullying were shamed more, with negative attention verses patience and understanding, when viable issues were brought to light. Lack of knowledge is not an excuse. I unfortunately remember being routinely victimized by a certain faculty member. She deliberately blamed me, in front of all my peers, for her unfortunate recent prescription of blood pressure medication. As if a 12 year old teenager is truly the reason for her hypertension. Truly appalled how my 12 years went at SPS!Catholic High-school was so different for me and in leu gave me a good opinion of catholic education. I was able to shed my distaste for my previous years of schooling and chalk it up to bad administration practices allowed to run rampant. At large, do not blame catholic education for the faults at SPS Bayshore. Many other reviews from the non-elite families who have chosen to share their misadventures within their child’s enrollment years. Sad! However.. there are such good things to be said about other catholic schools on LI. This school, for years now it, just seems to be a bad egg in the bunch.

Please don't waste your money. If your child has any problems don't expect them to be addressed. Their only concern is that your tuition is paid and that you participate in their many fund raisers. They bury their heads in the sand when it comes to issues of bullying and other problems that the students may be dealing with.

My daughter is having a wonderful experience at St. Patrick School! Her teachers are dedicated and caring. They teach her religious values through fun hands on projects, and are always reaching out to help the Bay Shore community. The administration has always been understanding and supportive. There is a great family feeling when you walk through the doors of St. Patrick School. I highly recommend this school!

I thought christian were suppose to be loving and supportive and not manipulative, judgmental and play mind games.
