I find Saint Jospeh school to be the perfect school for my children. It has a well balanced academic program with an emphasis on the student. Saint Joseph continues to put our children first, with caring teachers that challenge them and push them to do the best they can. Saint Joseph school also allows our children to practice there faith and it has help my children open up and thrive socially.I feel that even in these hard times Saint Jospeh has found ways to continue to expand and help create a sense of normalcy for our children with all their programs. While they focus on academics they also maintained great programs such as music, art, gym, and clubs such as chess, robotics, basketball, art, music and countless others. Even in these challenging covid times they have found ways to continually put our children first and without cutting back on anything. As a proud parent of a Saint Joseph 8th and 5th grader, I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a school that allows their children to grow academically while thriving socially and being themselves.

Our experience with SJPS has been very positive and our children thoroughly enjoy attending the school. Despite the restrictions due to COVID, the administration and staff have done a wonderful job making sure that the school year is engaging and exciting for the students.

We love the culture and environment at Saint Joseph Elementary School. The school administration and staff are very devoted to the students. Our children love their teachers, Mrs. Dean and Mr. Williamson. A special thanks to both of them for all the hard work and extra time they dedicate to their students and classroom. We couldn't have chosen a better school for our children. ~Jason and Zuleima(Parents of Pre-K and Kindergarten students)

My experience with Saint Joseph School is new. Under new leadership, the school has begun to flourish and move in a positive direction. Parents and students seem very happy with the rigorous curriculum that is presented by fully qualified teachers in a loving and caring environment.

My son attended pre-K 3 program. He learned to write all alphabets,his name and his friends name by end of his academic. Students learn the discipline from their lower grades. Comparatively this school is one of the best school in this county

My son has been in St. Joseph's for 4 years and now my daughter will be attending for the first time on September 2015 because the school is great. My son is learning the discipline. He is also learning how to respect all individuals regardless of race or color. His class has only 17 students and that is good because he is learning more with a small group. He is also learning advanced academic skills that will help him to succeed in life in the future when he chooses his career. His Math skills are excellent!

St. Joseph School is a wonderful learning environment for the kids. Aside from their scholastic achievements the kids learn morals and manners. My kids have been attending this school since the age of 3 my oldest being in here for 9 years almost. Every teacher my kids have had were excellent. I have never had one problem with a kid or a teacher, ever! The people who leave a bad review on a teacher, maybe should look at themselves as the problem. Just saying. As per the previous review on the 5th grade teacher, absolutely untrue. She was a great educator, a wonderful person. Oh and just because you pay your tuition up front doesn't mean you should get special treatment. Smh

Saint Joseph is a great school . The staff as well as the parents work cooperatively to help enhance learning. I'm happy to report that the students at Saint Joseph School scored 95% or above on the Terra Nova. Way to go Saint Joes! Submitted by a parent
