Our 2 grandsons attended here. One graduated in 2019 and will graduate from Pekin High this spring. He will be attending the University of Illinois this fall in the engineering department. Due to his education here, he has a 4.2 GPA. Our youngest grandson will graduate from here this spring and will be attending Pekin High this fall. He has been on the honor roll and we expect big things from hi as well. GREAT school with fantastic teachers!!!!

I am proud to be a parent in this school! This school offers a family environment where students' matter. The teachers and staff are devoted to make sure each child has a positive learning experience. While this is Faith based, students are not required to be Catholic. Preschool offers a positive first experience into the school. Each grade offers above average education. I strongly recommend this school. The learning experience is challenging and engaging to students.

I love how the students are like sponges wanting to learn and absorb all they can about our Catholic faith. Joan Moore

This school is amazing the small class sizes and challenging learning environment has allowed my student to excel in ways that were not available in the public school. On top of academics my student has shown growth in his understanding of how we treat others and how to treat himself. His self confidence has risen and his success is evident. The classroom teachers are caring while still maintaining high expectations. The office staff is unmatched in communication, respect, and taking the time to really know my family and student. St. Joseph School is a hidden gem that needs to be revealed if looking for a great education, warm and caring environment and A+ educators look no further.

St.Joseph School is truly the best school. It’s like being part of a family. Everyone in the building knows your children and our junior high students read to the younger students & help them like big brothers & sisters. I had 3 children go to this school from Preschool to 8th grade. It was the best choice we could have made for our children. The curriculum is engaging and it successfully prepares them for the next level of their education. They also receive Spanish from PK - 8th. They offer athletics and a loving environment. The staff is amazing & always willing to help. Make this your choice for education you won’t regret it!

This school accepts non Catholic students but is not accepting of them, despite presenting themselves otherwise. Students, parents, and staff are not warm or welcoming. The principal is a poor leader. A couple of the teachers seem kind, but positive experiences are rare.
