As a past parent of students who attended St Stan's I am so grateful for our time there. The teachers, staff and principal were always so kind and caring. I see how my high school children now excel in high school and it's all due to their time at St Stans. From academics, music class, PE and after school sports, my children learned so much. I have recommended St Stan's to family and friends and am so greatful they are loving the school as much as we did. Highly recommended if you are looking for a faith filled education with so much more.

The religion aspect of the school is great. This year, mandatory mass is twice a month during school hours. Academically it is sub par and the holistic formation of the student leaves a lot to be desired. It is hard to raise your kids when you are trying to teach them right from wrong at home and then you send them to a school where bullying is condoned and cheating is over looked. Basically, if you have money and would like your child to have a high GPA, this is the school for you. With your contributions, you can make sure your child has a low self esteem, high GPA and a wrapped sense of religion. Here “do as I say and not as I do” comes to life on an every day basis.

Amazing. My son used to hate going to school and since enrolling two years ago he has not tried to avoid school once. The class sizes are small and he can connect with teachers and peers very well. The school is like a community. Parent and teacher involvement is great.

I was really disappointed with this school. We moved to Modesto from the bay area. Based on the Greatschools review and tour, I had expected this school to match or exceed my expectations having already experienced a private, catholic education myself as well as my daughter's previous year bayside. The curriculum was literally 1 year behind. Projects and assignments she had done the previous year were things she was currently working on. Even worse was that my daughter told the teacher and not once was it mentioned to move her ahead or to give her more challenging assignments since she was excelling. Not only this, my daughter, for the first time ever was called a racial slur by another student. This might be due to the virtually absent diversity. The student in question was put in time out and that's it. In fact the only reason I found out was because my daughter told me. The textbooks are very old..falling apart old. This school makes a lot in fundraisers and the fair (almost $60K) and I really have not seen any of it go back into the education. Seems like funding is only going towards building development. Another thing that drew us to St. Stan was the "plethora of extracurricular activities". There were none. There are no extracurricular sports for the younger grades. None. Their PE had no solid instructor and would have random substitutes step in...it's just a joke. I do not recommend this school at all. Not sure how but I'm moving our family back to the bay area. I am so worried about my daughter struggling back to her grade level curriculum once we get back there.

Great change in leadership. Exellent teachers and staff. As parents of several children at Saint Stanislaus our children are happy faith filled individuals who are prepared for high school.

This is an amazing school with high moral standards. I have been so impressed with the staff and students on a daily basis. After moving to the area and interviewing several schools, St. Stanislaus stands out as the most welcoming and accomodating around. My daughter has blossomed during her years at St. Stanislaus. The teachers are so gifted in the fields they teach and are perfect examples of living a christian life, making them mentors to many of the students including my daughter. Our school administrator has genuine concern for the well being of each and every student on campus. His guidance has made a difference in the school since he joined the staff in 2010. We are blessed to have him and the entire staff directing our children. The accademic level reached at St. Stanislaus is second to none, and the faith filled environment makes all the difference. It is very comforting to know that our students are safe in their school community. In fact "Community is a word that truly describes the feel of St. Stanislaus parish school. My family is eternally grateful for discovering the difference this school has made in tmy daughter's educational development.

This truly is an exceptional school from top to bottom. Through strong leadership, very capable and caring teachers, strong support staff, and healthy parent involvement, St. Stan's is a Blessed little school. From Preschool through their 8th Grade Graduation, students are challenged academically, nourished spiritually, and rewarded plentifully. Offering Athletics, Mass Choir, Music, Science Olympiad, Technology, and large Library there is no shortage of activities to meet virtually any child's interests.
