I went to saint pat's in the 6th grade, I am a freshman now. I'm begging anyone who is considering sending their children here to please reconsider. It is the most unwelcoming environment I have ever been in. I was bullied mercilessly for my sexuality, weight, and coming from a broken home. When the staff became aware, they decided to get in on it. I was encouraged to end my life on a daily basis and told that I was damned. There is no academic structure, when I got back to public school it was like I completely skipped the 6th grade. The majority of the work I got was busy work. The campus is disgusting, the bathroom are unkept, and the cafeteria only has a microwave and a refrigerator. All the "hot" lunches are either from Joto's pizza or a spaghettiOs can.

Our son can be shy in unfamiliar situations. Since he has begun attending St Patrick he has truly blossomed. The buddy system is a wonderful tool the school uses to match the youngest and oldest students together for weekly mass and other special events throughout the school year. Teachers make themselves available to students and parents before and after school and the principal knows each of the parents by name. St Patrick has small class sizes and is a very close knit school. The academic and religious experience was just what we were looking for.

What a great school. The teachers, staff and curriculum are outstanding and our experience has been so positive. The teachers keep the parents in the loop and there is daily interaction through agenda logs.

This school has helped to mission the Catholic faith that is transmitted in our home. Our children have been challenged to grow academically, socially, physically, emotionally and spiritually by well trained teachers and staff. I love the unity experienced in the diversity of the children and families.

Our children have been at Saint Patrick's since 2013 - it has been a wonderful experience. Academically, the school is outstanding (students from St Pat's consistently score in the top of their class at Clearwater Catholic High School and on standardized test scores). The Principal is one of the best and most experienced in Pinellas County and has implemented outstanding Spanish, athletic, and music programs.What really sets St Patrick's apart is its culture. The teachers and parents care, the student body is diverse and the children are building character, not just knowledge. In my opinion, character development is what education at this age is really about. If you want to get your children a great start in life, this is your school.

I love St. Patrick school. It is a great place for my two kids providing strong academics and a safe and family environment to learn about Christ and His teachings. The principal and teachers are professional and caring.

Fantastic School. I have 2 children who have attended the school since pre-K, they are currently in 1st and 3rd grade. They absolutely love the school. The school provides a top educational experience along with a great environment for the children. The faculty and administration are exceptional. We absolutely love the school.

It is a disgrace that this school is still open. The school is structurally falling down and the students are in danger of getting injured. The entire campus looks like it could be in a third world country. This school is located in a very poor and needy area, with section 8 housing, thugs and crime activity everywhere. This school is unsafe and not secured to the current standard. The bathrooms are filthy and the toilets are overflowing and disgusting. The Department of Health will not grant a permit for the cafeteria to operate. The parents either pack a lunch (most) or pay $4.50 per lunch for a horrible meal from Joto's pizza. There has been a mass exodus of students and quality teachers, and a high overall staff turnover. The teachers that have stayed are either buying time until they can retire or do not have the education level necessary to teach in the public school. PE, Music and Art have no curriculum and nothing new or interesting is learned. Please do not send any students here, do not make our mistake and look at all your options.

Small town type school in a big city. Our children get personal attention from the teachers. We are very happy with the school.
