I personally went to this school from preschool up to 8th grade. It was a horrendous experience. The teachers and staff are rude and insulting. They do not have a school nurse. I was not allowed to make even a simple phone call to my mother regarding my medical issues as well as them refusing to call her for me. They recently kicked out my little sister for her medical issues regarding her bowel system when she had an accident at the age of 6. This behavior is Intolerable and unacceptable.

I have five children, four have or are attending SJA. My oldest are now in public highschool. They adjusted well and came in at the top of their class. They were taught to love their Catholic faith and have been sharing it with their atheist friends at school. The families at SJA support each other and the sisters are always ready to pray for us when we need it. It is truly a community.

Absolutely the worst experience of my life. Great academics, but the worst students, rules, and athletics there is in Northern Kentucky. If you want to be emotionally and socially prepared for high school, do not go here. To improve this school, they should take a step out of the 1950's. More of a reform school for students with careless parents.

This is a wonderful school that prepares children well for high school and life in general. The academics and religion program are tops. We have a caring faculty, and the families that attend the school are friendly and supportive. There are plans to build a gym and more classrooms for the middle school soon. The sports program is run by parents.

SJA is a great school, great families and great focus on religion. Children here need a sports program. Religion is #1 here, Academics is #2. I attended this school for 8 years and felt socially unaware and naive once I entered a public/independent school. Offering more opportunities to mix with the outside world would have been helpful.
