The students at this school bully, they deface school property, and they have lack compassion. Teachers are unwilling to help students with ‘learning disabilities’ - they label and disregard. I would never recommend this school to anyone.

I love the pre-k teacher, and the front desk staff is wonderful, outside of that I would NEVER suggest someone to send their children to this school, especially if they are not easily molded. I feel like if this school could still instill corporal punishment, they would. They took my sons shoes from him for most of the day and had him walking around campus in socks for most of the day.

My kids go to this school. They have a great elementary program with a great principal and teachers. They teach leadership and accountability. Sings the American Anthem during school assembly. Teaches religion and community awareness.

My son went to St. Joseph Catholic School from Kindergarten through 8th grade. He is in high school now and is in honors classes and has made honor roll. He was very prepared for high school thanks to the principal and teachers at St. Joseph. Thank you!

I am so happy with the progress my kids have made since we moved them to St. Joseph's. The principal has been more than supportive in helping each of my children succeed. Her changes and attitude have made a crucial impact in our life. It is because of her I will suggest this school to anyone I meet.

St. Joseph's is a school that creates and supports a culture of bullying. The principal refuses to address the issue, and hides behind an inadequate handbook. Students are subjected to verbal and physical harassment with the perpetrators receiving minimal consequences for their actions. In terms of spiritual development, this school is all talk an no action. Removal of the principal and replacing them with a stronger, more progressive individual would go a long way towards improvement. Compared to other catholic schools in the area, the academics are adequate if mediocre. Scholarship is not very well regarded amongst the students - especially those who contribute to the bullying problem. Because of minimal consequences for bullying, other children do not take a stand and speak up against the bullying - knowing full well they will become the next targets. Morally and ethically, this school is demonstrably disappointing.

We moved to Tucson from Virginia in 2004. We have had two kids graduate from St Joe's and three that are still there. We have been nothing short of amazed at the outstanding education and values our children have received there. The staff is terrific - caring & compassionate, yet challenging. Our graduates of St Joe's have goone on to do very well in HS due to their time at St Joe's!
