My son attended Saint Joseph transferred in because of Covid. When my son started at Saint Joseph, the Principal was a lovely but strict, but also very fair women who was very engaging with both parents and students. My son attended 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade, he met so many nice boys and girls. 4th grade is when all the problems began, first there was a boy in his class that was such a mean bully, he would fat shame kids in the class and he would constantly go out of his way to be mean to my and son and his friend. The Principal and 4th grade teacher had no control or authority over this child. Unfortunately there was a change in Principals when my son started 4th grade, she had no control over this bully and she also did run the STEM program. She really lacks maturity and experience. I would recommend sending your child to Saint Joseph until Principal Valenti is gone.

When I attended this school, I had to be transferred to another school at age 13 because the bullying was unbearable at that point. The teachers did nothing to stop this and this had occurred since 1st grade all the way up until I had to leave in 7th grade.If you have a parents in the mothers and fathers club, it's a different story- they take "good care" of your children. But growing up, my mother was a working, traveling executive and my father was retired- so they could care less about how I was treated since my parents were unable to "contribute". It's bad business and a bunch a snobby stuck up people who THINK they live in Bronxville when really, they live in other cities but happen to have a Bronxville PO.

My daughter loves this school and is thriving here. My experience so far with the teachers are that they are extremely caring, attentive and responsive. Such a wonderful community, with a very active mothers club and fathers club. Its tough keeping up with all the social events at school, especially as a working mom.

I joined St. Joseph as I had good things about the school and the academics were supposed to be excellent. My experience so far dealing with the prncipal and staff has been nothing but appaling. I have reached out to the Principal on a few follow up items about my boys and I have just been given a run around. Telling me they will call me back but never get back to me. I guess my biggest learning is the staff is not cooperative at all especially the principal and if you need something to be followed up with, it will take you forever if not never to get it done. I would prefer my boys to be in a good academically sound school and a responsive understanding staff. - Parent
