I am a current student and i believe this school is good. All the teachers are very nice and supportive of their students. It's really a great school. Everyone is very friendly, and there is no bullying at all. A few things i like about my school are the musicals, which occur once a year, and the great catholic education, which, in my opinion is the best in Quincy. There are many activities to participate in. There are many opportunities such as Scotties fun nights, and many fun field trips that give students education as well as entertainment. Overall, this school is a great school to send your kids.

I’ve been going to St. Francis since preschool and im graduating after this school year, its pretty cool and im going to be 100% honest in this review. I mostly have 3 minor issues with my school.1. The school lunch is not so great, I get stuff is expensive right now and no school’s lunch actually tastes good so just take your own lunch. 2. They replaced iPads with Chromebook's. Chromebooks are really hard to use in my opinion and the schools internet after we got the Chromebooks is kinda bad and nothing will load. 3. A 6th-8th grade teacher cusses at their students and I think that should not be allowed in a catholic school. Nobody really does anything about it though. I just hope somebody talks to them because I really don't like walking into class and getting cussed at. (the teacher also call the boys names like numb-nuts, dingbats, and dingleberry. And even though sometimes they do deserve it and I don’t think they take offense to it, I don't like how the teacher does that.) Here are some of the good things about this school!1. The teachers are very good I like mostly all of them.2. They have fun events like Mardi Gras and field trips (eighth grade gets to go on a big trip!) 4. They have a stem night for the 6th-8th grade. 6th does an egg drop thingy, 7th does mousetrap cars, and 8th does catapults i think! And there is ice cream at stem night so its great! 3. They gave me a good catholic education and im very thankful.Overall a great school!

As a parent, I'm truly impressed with St. Francis Solanus Catholic School. The dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to provide a nurturing environment where my child has flourished both academically and spiritually. The strong emphasis on moral values and community service has significantly shaped my child's character. The small class sizes ensure individual attention, fostering an inclusive atmosphere. I couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll our child at St. Francis Solanus.

My son is entering 2nd grade at St. Francis. We could not be happier. Their technology is far beyond anything the public schools have and the small class sizes make it easy for the teachers to work individually with all kids. The family involvement is second to none. The teachers are very nurturing and they are there because they love the kids. We recommend St. Francis to all our friends and family who are looking for the best education for their children.

First, the name of the school is St. Francis. Frances is a woman's name, 'is' is male. I attended this school in the 70's and like any other school it was some good and some bad. I believe my education was a step or two above the public school kids and I still have very good handwriting. Some of the nuns were harsh and some were fun. OIt was an experience and education worth having.
