Community Reviews
St. Joseph School in Mechanicsburg has been a heartwarming, encouraging and fulfilling experience. Currently I have a second grader and fifth grader who have both been there since preschool. We are so fortunate to have the school available in our area, because it has been such an excellent structure
Posted by a parent on 8/25/2023Three of my children have attended St. Joseph School. We transferred from a neighboring Catholic school and it is a night and day difference. So much more organized and well run. I dont think another learning institution could have handled the pandemic any better as well.
Posted by a parent on 4/26/2022It is a good school with good staff
Posted by a parent on 3/17/2022My daughter was bullied from grade 1 to 6. I reported many times and nothing was done until it was so bad that it affects her mentally and had to put her with counselor. I took my daughter out of the school. I should had done it earlier. My daughter is still have mental health problem up until now.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe enrolled expecting a Christ-centered school with strong values, fairness, and transparency, but unfortunately that has changed over time. Major curriculum changes were made without parents being properly informed, and the school now seems to follow public schools rather than offering the distinct Christian education many families expected.There also appears to be favoritism, where families connected to administration receive different treatment. This creates an unfair environment that does not reflect the Christian principles of integrity and equality.Leadership has become very one-sided, and there has been a noticeable decline in faculty and staff retention. Many of the strongest teachers and administrators have left, and it seems difficult for the school to keep quality staff long term.Families who have reached out for financial assistance have reportedly been denied, while tuition continues to rise. At the same time, there have not been meaningful additions to sports, clubs, or academic opportunities.The new high school building raises additional concerns. It does not include a gym or lockers, lunches will need to be brought over from the middle school because there is no commercial kitchen, yet administration offices were fully renovated first. This sends the wrong message about priorities.Overall, it feels like the focus has shifted away from students, Christian values, and educational growth, and more toward image and finances. Families looking for broader opportunities and stronger transparency may find better options elsewhere.Parent Review4w ago
