This school is wonderful. Rules are strict and they run a tight ship, but this environment builds character. I've had only minor complaints throughout the years. Contrary to some other reviews, this school does what it can to deal with bullying. We've seen bullies come and go. However, if you are the type of parent who will never believe that your child may be capable of doing something wrong at school, you may not agree with the discipline policy. Administration is very receptive to parental concerns. Homework can be heavy at times, but administration does work hard to make it balance. The reading goals are not too hard to achieve if you are willing to exert some form of effort. Parental involvement is almost essential here, so if you are a total hands off parent, this may not work for you. If you are looking for a school that has a community-type feel that provides a Christ-centered education, this is perfect.

This school allows bullying to go on. They do not address it and children are badly affected. The principal does not abide by the handbook policy and does not discipline children who do the bullying but instead blame the child being bullied. This can affect a child throughout their lifetime. The school is very demadining and does not allow the children to talk, not even at lunch. They have hours of homework. I would not recommend to my worst enemy.

St.Joseph School is by far the best school in the area! They treat each child with the respect, great teachers and staff!!!
