We love our school. It makes me sad that someone (likely bitter or disgruntled) feels the need to slam our staff and facility, it certainly isn’t Christian behavior. Come visit and see for yourself, our little school is making a big impact on many lives. I’m truly grateful!

Awful experience. There is a reason the faculty turnover rate is so high in addition to MANY students leaving over the years. Notice how many 5 star reviews were submitted all on the same exact day this year. Too many bad reviews caught up to them! LOLThey care about enrollment and tuition $, not your child. Sadly, the curriculum is no better than a public school.

I cannot recommend St. Joesphs enough. It was one of the best decisions I have made as a parent. The teachers lead by example and create great role models for my girls. I love the family and community environment.

Our experience has been great. We have seen a change in our child’s confidence and learning since moving to the school. For us though, it is great to see the character that the school instills in the students. The faith aspect of the school is nice to see. It is not pushed on the students, but it is a tool that is used to teach life lessons.

I am very blessed to have my kids go to such a great school that is focused on the Catholic religion. I am extremely happy with their education. St Joseph not only teaches curriculum but also builds character in each of the students. I am very pleased with the everything about the school.

St. Joseph school is the best school! I am beyond happy with the education and curriculum that my children receive. The teachers and staff are so dedicated, friendly and supportive. The care about every child and family. Also, the school has so much to offer for extra curricular activities like an amazing sports program, instrument/band program, choir, hand bells and art and theatre program. I am so happy with my choice to send my children to SJS. It was the best decision I ever made!

I'm truly blessed to be part of this community. The faith we share is such a welcoming feeling for all that come onto the campus. My children love being there and we truly feel like we are part of a family. If you're looking for a great school that will help your child grow in all areas...this is your place!!

Terrible!!!! Run away as fast as you can!! So many better Catholic schools to choose from. Do not be fooled by principal. She seems nice but will tell you anything you want to hear to get you in! There is a reason 40 students and 13 teachers have left in two years!

This school is terrible and I am so glad to have my kids not returning. If you’re looking for great academics, keep looking! If you’re looking for a Christian atmosphere, keep looking! If you’re looking for faculty that genuinely care about your child, keep looking! I completely agree with the other post that the principal promises a lot but never delivers. Some people will say anything to take your tuition check. There are much better Catholic schools in the area. I’d go with a charter school over this one!

Being a part of the St. Joseph community has been one of the best decisions we made as parents. I have 2 students who attend the school. The school is a small and close knit community. The school has gone through a transition since a long time principal left a few years ago. The current principal is dedicated to the school and really cares about all the students. She has implemented many after school activities and is guiding the implementation of the latest technology in all the classroom. The teachers are amazing and really go above and beyond! My children have always felt loved and supported. I love that every teacher TK-8 knows my child's name. I love the faith-based approach to learning and the Catholic identity is strong in this school. I am excited for many more additions in the coming school year with 1:1 iPads in 5-8 and the addition of art and music programs into the core curriculum! Its a great school with many long traditions that we love to be a part of!

The academics are subpar as the school will accept anyone. There are limited resources and there is nothing that makes SJP superior to other schools in the area. The Principal promises a lot and delivers little. All of her so called new ideas are simply recycled ideas from her previous school. I currently have my child on a wait list at another Catholic school.
