My experience has only been positive at this school for the past 12 years that my children have attended. Led by a caring principal who I dearly appreciate. The kids are well mannered. The teachers are loving. The curriculum is challenging and most of all, the Catholic faith is part of their everyday life.

The teachers and staff are amazing. Mrs. Fecitt knows which students are my children when I walk into the office and genuinely cares about the students and families. The teachers are amazing and so caring for their students. We love that it feels like a small family rather than a huge school full of strangers.

My daughter absolutely loves this school. She is in VPK and although they have a very early traditional Catholic school arrival, she is excited and ready to get to her school and learn. I grew up in a Catholic school and would've liked to see more faith base education, but then again, she is only in pre-K, and I'm sure the higher grades get religion classes, although I would've loved hearing her come home to singing some Christian/Catholic songs. Overall, we are very happy with this school and thinking to dish out the cash for continuing education at St. Joseph's Catholic school.

the administration has worsened. If you are not part of the staff or a family member of the Staff, it is difficult for them to be objective.

St. Joseph's is a wonderful, caring, engaging school environment that is rooted in Catholic teachings. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a high-quality education for their child.

The school tries very hard to nurture through the development of faith and healthy learning. They are always having activities to bring the community closer and that makes a difference to our family. The schoolwork is not too challenging for our kiddos, but they do have a good balance of reading, math and spelling weekly to do. They also have a police stop station onsite ...How wonderful is that!!!

We have two children in this school. My kids have friends in public school as well....They often come home from playing outside with their friends and tell me they are glad they get to go to private school....As parents we are very pleased with the school....our kids are not perfect, and the school does their best to show them where they go wrong......This school is a private school so funding and helping by volunteering at the school is a must like any private school.

All of my children have had wonderful experiences at SJCS over the past five years and continue to look forward to many years to come. The office staff is warm and welcoming. They have become like family when entering the office as I have volunteered throughout the the school year. The teachers and aides are very involved and hands on with the students - always coming up with new and fun activities for the students to learn and experience . A lot of schools seem to have heavy class numbers, but my children's class sizes have been 25 or less and each class from PreK to 4th grade has an aide which is so helpful. I haven't had any issues with curriculum and feel the homework load (less than 25 minutes each night) is sufficient for their current ages/grades. The sports programs have continued to grow and I would like to see a boys baseball team added. I love that my children are getting a well rounded academic and religious education that will continue to help build on their Catholic foundation.

We have had our children with this school for 10 years and we are so thankful for it. We have 3 biological kids there now and have had 3 foster kids enrolled there as well. Each child has felt loved and challenged to bring out their best. I like all the teachers and staff. They teach our children the Catholic faith, academics, stem, and how to be respectful of others. Everything we could ask for!

Great school! Super impressed with the constant upgrades to technology and curriculum. My daughter was very well prepared for high school. There are so many opportunities for extra curricular activities for both sports and academics. The staff and administration have always positively addressed any concerns I have had. I also love that my kids have had a very strong Catholic foundation where their faith is now part of their daily lives.

Absolutely awful. We’ve never felt welcomed, my child was never built up by anyone their pushing her to do her best. She was only shamed. She kept up pretty well too! This school is more fiscally focused than that are at shaping and growing the minds of the children they are paid to facilitate.
