St. Joseph School is a great school! I have had two daughters attend St. Joseph and both have enjoyed it. They excel in academics and the faculty and staff are amazing. They really get to know the child and care for them. St. Joseph is a very welcoming community of faith. My daughters have made life long friendships and adore St. Joseph. We feel blessed to be part of the St. Joseph school community.

St.Josephs has been of great educational value to my children. They work diligently to make our children feel safe and comfortable.

This is my child's first year at St. Joseph and the transition has not been easy. However, the staff is very hands-on, efficient, and if one cannot help you, they will direct you with someone who is able to do so. I see a difference in my child after only 3 weeks, and it feels good to know that she has teachers and faculty members to support her, and our family as she continues her education.

As a parent of a child at Kindergarten and Preschool, I've been happy with the welcoming community and the nurturing environment they've created for my kids. The class sizes are small, allowing for individualized attention and support for each student, The teachers are good at communicating with parents, providing regular updates on progress and development. Overall, I'm confident that they're receiving a high-quality education in a safe and supportive environment.

St. Joseph is dedicated to provide a strong Catholic formation and a quality education for all students. The education that children get is priceless and it is worth every penny. The values of the school, leadership, and teachers are outstanding. To me, it is a huge plus that Mrs. Acuna has an open door policy.

My son went to preschool at St. Joseph school in Pinole and we had a great experience with both the school and the preschool teachers. The preschool is taught by Mrs. Garcia together with Ms. Sayuri, Ms. Naomi and Ms. Cecy. I love how the kids have structure and learn doing various activities during the day and towards the afternoon, they are given time to play at the playground for some free play. All the teachers created a nurturing environment by being patient and understanding ensuring every child is valued and supported in their learning journey. We got along pretty well with all the teachers and most importantly, my son loves them all. They use positive reinforcement to encourage growth and development while fostering a sense of belonging and security. Mrs. Garcia is easy to reach any time of day and easy to talk to. Throughout the year, the school had such great events/activities for the kids to participate in such as the fall school field trip to the pumpkin patch, walk a thon, winter and spring concerts where the kids got to perform, Let’s glow crazy party. Highly recommend this school for anybody looking for a preschool for their kids. We had a great experience at the school and with all the teachers for our first year in preschool here.

We have been happy with the experience we have had so far at St. Josephs. They really do focus on a whole child educational approach. Not only are the academics more rigorous than our previous public school but they have specific study in the areas of art, music, language, and religion. There are many extracurricular activities available from sports to drama. Children are educated on the importance of service and community, and they foster a close learning environment across grade levels with faith families and buddy classes.

I am delighted to share my thoughts on St. Joseph's Elemntary School, which has exceeded my expectations in every way. We are now in First grade and I must say that the first grade teachers are amazing! The dedicated and passionate teaching staff create an inclusive and engaging learning environment where students are encouraged to explore their interests and challenge themselves academically. They give tremendous care, thoughtfulness, understanding, and support to my daughter and her classmates. I appreicate them!

I would strongly recommend St Joseph's School to any parent seeking a nurturing and motivating environment for their child's educational development. The staff at St Joseph's is adept at providing emotional support and ensuring the well-being of students, creating a comfortable atmosphere for both students and parents. Additionally, the presence of a police and fire department in close proximity to the school gives me a sense of security when dropping off my sons every morning.

St. Joseph's has a great pre-school program! The children are well cared, have great activities and are in a fun and nurturing environment. We send our daughter full time and she had no trouble adjusting at all. She's met all her milestones and I feel is socially ready for the next step. The student body is also very diverse which is a BIG plus.

We love St. Joseph's school and have seen a dramatic change in our son from preschool/daycare. He is more excited about learning new things, engaging with his peers, and thrives on the routine that the teachers set. From our limited experience (only a year of schooling so far), we know that the principal is engaged and really committed to making the school the best it can be, that the opportunities for parent engagement are plentiful, and that the teachers really understand the unique needs of our child.

St. Joseph school is a great place that not only offers excellent academics, but also believes in discipline. It offers a safe place for all children to learn and to be comfortable with themselves. The technology and skills that are provided are in alignment with the times. They are always looking and studying for ways to make improvements in order for their students to receive the best education possible.

This is a review for the preschool program at SJS. Our daughter is finishing off her first year in the preschool program and we've really enjoyed it. All of the preschool teachers are super kind and patient with the kids. We felt like she was in safe, caring hands every day when we dropped her off. She's learned a lot from the program and always seemed to have fun. We'd get occasional updates from the teachers through Class Dojo which were really nice to see. The school events that we attended were fun and the families all seemed very involved in creating a welcoming environment for the students. The various commitments for fundraising and parent volunteer hours were a little challenging, but overall we've been really happy with our experience at SJS.

Our little kindergartner thrives at St Joseph school. The academic curriculum and social emotional learning programs are outstanding, the staff is amazing and each student receives a lot of 1:1 attention. We've taken the time to explore classrooms other than our own and it's amazing to see how much attention each teacher here gives to the growth of the class as a whole and to each individual kid. They really create a loving, nurturing environment for each student to grow. As parents, we also get to thrive through the community we've found. We all learned to play a new instrument via the Ukulele club, had a blast at Octoberfest and other events, and have made lifelong friends with other great families. Most importantly, our little one is learning the value of community participation as he watches our family participate in numerous opportunities for service. St Joseph is a warm, welcoming environment where everyone gives a lot of attention to the community and each individual child.
