My Daughter went to St James and she loved it. The teachers and staff that I dealt with were as accommodating as possible and kept us well informed.

My Daughter went to St James and loved it. The teachers and staff that I have dealt with all did their best to be accommodating and even went as far as changing the bus route so she did not have to walk as far to the stop.

this School #sucks. :(. They say they take care of their students but they don't. the only thing they take seriously is the dress code and vaping. SA never really gets delt with along with other types of assault.

As a fellow parent,I would not recommend this school. It is the lack of ability to help and better then selves for my children and the children that go to St. Janes. At Janes elementary was way better and willing to work with us parents. My children will not be going here anymore. The things that bothers me is because of them I have to spend money that I am currently struggling to get to send my Daughter to Private school.

This school overall is not a good school. When at this school it is like a Walmart on Black Friday. The hallways are crowded and kids are getting shoved around.

There is so much bullying and clicks its a disgrace. The staff just ignores complaints until something really bad happens and they are forced to deal with it. Hard to keep good grades when your self esteem is destroyed and no one seems to care. I understand how very hard it is to work in a school these days but if you cant deal with it work at Wal-Mart.

This school is horrible! The teachers aren't great, the vice principles are power hungry, the 8th grade principle in particular. The one real bad part of this school are the academic counselors. They will do next to nothing to help you with what ever your issue may be. One of the counselors is real bad at this. I tried to get changed out of one of my classes, and she didn't even have to common courtesy to respond to my requests! And what do I get out of it? I get punished with a referral and 3 days of ISS. All in all, do NOT go to this school, or you WILL regret it.

We just moved here from NJ and we couldn't be happier with the school system. It is leaps and bounds above the NJ school system we left, and we lived in an upscale, upper middle class neighborhood. Everyone at SJMS is happy, friendly and cares. It is well-oiled, and disciplined, yet still knows how to let the kids have fun and be kids!!
