My children have absolutely thrived at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we felt welcomed into a warm and supportive community.What truly sets St. Vincent de Paul apart is its commitment to educating the whole child. Yes, academics are important, and they excel in that area, but the school goes above and beyond by nurturing each child's spiritual, emotional, and social growth.The strong emphasis on faith is woven into every aspect of the school day. My children have developed a deep understanding of their faith through daily prayer, weekly Mass, and engaging religious education classes. It's beautiful to see how their faith is becoming a guiding force in their lives.Beyond academics and religion, St. Vincent de Paul focuses on character development. The teachers and staff are incredible role models who instill values like kindness, respect, and responsibility in the students. I've seen firsthand how my children have grown in compassion and empathy during their time here.The school also provides a well-rounded education with opportunities in the arts, athletics, and extracurricular activities. This allows students to explore their talents and interests, further developing their unique potential.We are so grateful to be part of the St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School family. It's a place where children are not just taught, but truly nurtured and loved. If you're looking for a school that provides a strong academic foundation within a faith-filled environment that prioritizes character development, I wholeheartedly recommend St. Vincent de Paul!

St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School goes above and beyond to make sure that students and families feel heard and have their needs met. When difficulties arise, a quick stop to the front office allows you to be greeted by the new and friendly receptionist to address any concerns. The staff work together to meet growth goals and plan for their student's success. Teachers engage in professional development throughout the year and are constantly bringing in new ideas to support their teaching and learning. The Families at Promise team offers much needed social-emotional support that is not always offered at all Catholic schools. SVdP has increased their safety protocols in recent years by adding security cameras around campus and keyless entry cards for all staff members. The students regularly complete safety drills to be prepared incase of a true emergency. Families receive consistent communication via text message, email, and social media to alert them of important upcoming events and deadlines. The Daughters of Charity have continued to support this community since the early 60's and their love for all students shines true. I couldn't be happier with my experience at SVdP. If you are considering a new campus, this is the one to choose!

Hello, I would like to say that please don't go to this school I'm a student here but its horrible. AS in eight grader, our lunch feels like its about 10 minutes and that is NOT ENOUGH another thing is that their is no protection that last year a student had DRUGS and a homeless man came inside our school too, another thing is that if one person talks in line we have to repeat it over and over with our heavy backpacks and in the sun, I bet when we get old our backs will hurt its not just me but a bunch of mothers and students that are complaining too. IT HORRIBLE ITS LIKE MILITARY CAMP. PLEASE DON"T GO. But do you know what's worst is that a teacher had the nerve to say how about we cut our lunch more so that we learn more I'm like WHAT we barley have 10 minutes and you expect us to CUT MORE like without food we won't be able to learn. Oh, and the principal is horrible she changed everything fun to boring and she still had the nerve to say ''lets get to 130% this year'' like give us a break PLEASE DON"T GO TO THIS SCHOOL ITS HORRIBLE. (oh and its not just 8th grade its all the grade and the preschoolers they put like a leash on them).

Very bad school. Graduated in 2024 and administration was very bad. Compared to a public school, this "Catholic School" turns out to be very bad. Many teachers don't care about your opinions. There is not even enough teachers, I didn't have a homeroom teacher during semester one of 7th grade. Principle would always accuse people just because he wanted too. I wouldn't recommend this "Catholic School" at all.

This school is just about raising the number of students who attend. The principal has her favorites and allows teachers and staff to yell at parents in front of her. She never apologizes for things that happen to children there ( bullying by teachers and staff) nor does she require her staff to apologize. It is a great disappointment to our Catholic faith. She preaches one thing but does totally different things. She knowingly allows teachers and staff to bully the students and mistreat them daily. The good teachers always leave. She does not fill teacher spots and allows subs and uncertified staff "teach" the classes. We had to withdraw our daughter when a staff member made her cry and proceeded to yell, interrupt and wave her fiinger in my face. What a Catholic woman.

St. Vincent De Paul is the best school ever!!!. I ve have had a few problems with the teachers, but the teachers were more than willing to make the issue better right away. They went out of their way to make sure situations where cleared up and I thought that was great. The Principal really cares for the kids and constantly ask the parents how their child is doing in school and are there ways to improve the issue. I cannot see my child in better hands. St. Vincent De Paul will be the school I pick for my kids and highly recommend.
