Our daughter started at St. Joe’s in August of 2020. We found the leadership to be excellent at communication and thoughtful while including all views of opening the school during the pandemic. Our daughter is currently in her 3rd year at St. Joe’s and we’re thrilled with the educators that she’s been very lucky to have. We have seen her grow, learn, blossom, find her own identity, and demonstrates enormous pride in being a part of St. Joes. We have appreciated the positive environment and community that has come with sending our daughter here. We can understand why she loves going to school since the teachers are so committed and joyful. We also appreciate as parents the rich and thoughtful curriculum. The mix of academics, art, music and community has exceeded our expectations.

St. Joe's has faltered in recent years with the quality of faculty and support staff, especially in the elementary grades. The homework load and expectations are significant, even in the early grades (1st-3rd grade with an hour+ of nightly homework). The environment is very prescriptive and not nurturing toward the students with an approach to Catholic teaching more focused on academic rigor than the teachings of Christ-like virtues of kindness, patience, and charity.

You get what you pay for. Excellent, principal, teachers and staff. I'm very impressed with what St. Joseph's offers. Family feel, security, and offers many extras like music, PE, and Spanish. Sad that in order to get the expected education for my children, I have to pay, because I'm fearful I will not get it in the public schools.

St. Joes has been an outstanding school for our child. The level of education that he is receiving is top notch.
