St Patrick School

Most of the teachers are great!! They could use a new principal as I have saw him to be very hateful with a lot of the students and parents as well.

My son did it nothing but worksheets and rote activities in Kindergarten. There seemed to be no real curriculum. There is no art teacher, nor is art valued. IXL was the main math assignment--no manipulatives or real world math. The library is dated, unorganized, and extremely limited. Communication was terrible--they give students STAR reading benchmarks but don't tell you that you do so you can know how your child is doing. My son hated kindergarten for its daily stack of rote worksheets, zero creativity, and it's developmentally inappropriate "sit and be quiet" structure---not how a 5 year old learns. You get more from public schools and you don't have to pay for it. They also seem to dislike someone wanting transparency an communicaton beyond discussing behavior. Behavior is valued over true higher order thinking.
