I can’t say enough things about the amazing community at st Juliana. There is a good mix of veteran teachers and well trained newer educators who bring fresh ideas and new techniques to the classroom. School principal Dr Gonzalez does an amazing job keeping the curriculum relevant and engaging. After school programs are mostly sports and tutoring after the pandemic however I feel everyone gives 110 percent and there is a true sense of community for everyone who gets involved. I feel academically my 2 children continue to excel achieving far above their grade levels in standardized state testing. I can not recommended the school enough.

No sibling discounts. One class per grade level with large class sizes.Compared to nearby schools a lack of after school programs. Test after test after test yet very little homework to help learn materials. Four days of math a week.Star testing and results a few times a year yet no adjustment to students needs are made.A few amazing teachers and a few who do the bare minimum.

A lot of the teachers have left. You have one teacher assigned for both science and math, without formal training. Focus is less on academic but more on fundraising.

We have been with St. Juliana for MANY years and would give it a TEN STAR rating if we could. Everything about the school is amazing! The teachers are outstanding and the strong academic education our children have received has been worth every penny paid! Based on our own experience as educators, we can say with great enthusiasm and conviction that St. J is an excellent school. It possesses everything you expect - dedicated staff, strong academic & extra-curricular programs, great facilities, and committed parents, but the distinguishing characteristic is the sense of community and family rarely found at many schools. There is something magical when a community of people get together and support the ideals and values of education. The curriculum is first-rate, challenging & diverse. St. J played a key role in our four oldest children being accepted into the schools of their choice (Servite, Rosary, Mater Dei & Troy High School) and we are certain the case will be the same for our youngest as well! The entire family will reap the benefits of being members of the St. Juliana community.

The school is excellent! Every grade works way above state standards and the teachers are not just "teaching to the test," but more importantly teaching to make our children well rounded, faith filled young people.

I just wanted to write because I had two children graduate from St. Juliana Falconieri School. Both were placed in High Honors upon entering high school. My children were able to participate in the Algebra class at Rosary High School during their eight grade year, What a great advantage! Both were placed in Algebra 2/ Trig. their freshman year. I also do not know of another catholic school that has the state of the art computer and science lab that St. Juliana school has. I really don't think you will find another school, public or private, that will prepare your child for high school the way this school does.

I had two children attend and graduate from St. Juliana School. They received a well-rounded curricular education. Both students were well-prepared for high school where they excelled academically. Additionally, they received a solid spiritual foundation which has continued to help them make moral decisions. The teachers at St. Juliana School expect their students to be cooperative and respectful. Consistent consequences are given for misbehavior. I would recommend St. Juliana School to any parent wanting an excellent educational experience for their child.

St. Juliana school just recently installed SMART boards in all of the classrooms. This amazingly new technology allows students to interactively participate and manipulate concepts in the classroom. In this digital world, students at St. Juliana have a definite advantage. My students have demonstrated an increase in understanding and participation ever since I started using the SMART board.

St. Juliana addresses the whole child in grades K-8. Not only are the core subjects taught, but the students have art, computers, music, and P.E. taught by teachers who have expertise in each of these areas. This is a rarity in an age where most elementary schools are cutting these "extras." Also, the teachers dedication to the students is second to none. Each of them are truly committed to defining success for each student at his/her own level. I would definitely recommend St. Juliana to anyone.
