This school was a HUGE disappointment. The staff is not trained to work with any children that are not mainstream. What they call "behavior issues" were due to a mental diagnosis and my 5 yr old was singled out and pulled out of class on a regular basis. The Kindergarten teacher is inadequate as is the principal. The school needs more training. Positive reinforcement is something they had to learn as as behavioral learning is based on consequences. The school also threatened to hold her back a year for "lack of maturity/readiness" while she was excelled academically. It was a terrible/traumatic experience for my child. She became moody, sad and hated school. My child was not given the same opportunity to learn about Jesus as mainstream kids are given. If your child doesnt conform or fit the mold that this Catholic school is trying to obtain...then you arent welcome. The parents bully other parents. If you arent getting free tuition, as most of the school seems to be getting, it is expensive. My child was moved to public school at the end of last school year and she is thriving! She did in fact move to the next grade level this school year. Her teachers give her good behavior reports daily. She thankfully is still loving and kind and Holy Trinity Catholic School didnt ruin her view on school or education at such a young age.

St. Patrick's has been a positive educational, spiritual and social experience for my children. Both have done well thanks to caring educators, smaller classes, consistent expectations and individualized attention. As a parent, I've found that there is a direct and open line of communication with the teachers and principal who promptly address any concerns or issues when brought to their attention.

Not happy with this school at all!!! As soon as we can get our child out we will!! Our child is being bullied at this private school!!!!!!! The teacher is terrible!!! Displays favoritism. Cannot control her class. As a parent I am so disappointed with the standards at this school. Our child's public school was 100% better than this private, expensive school. They still use the I N O P GRADING SYSTEM??!!

Great school with very good teachers and staff. My child has attended the last four years, and has shown overwhelming academic and personal growth since moving there from a public school. Great parents and great parent / teacher involvement.

St. Patrick Catholic School offers a caring, nurturing, learning environment with wonderful staff that is attentive to children's needs and abilities. The school provides the latest available technology despite it's historic building. The school is a must for anyone who is looking to educate their children in the Catholic Faith and for others looking for an alternative to public schools.

St. Patrick School has been a wonderful place for my children! They are receiving a top notch education. I have been quite pleased with all of their teachers as they have moved on up through the years. The school has recently had a change in leadership that I feel will be great for the school and for all of the children.

While my daughter attended this school she dealt with many issues concerning bullying. She also wasn't being challenged. When I transferred her to public school, she was put in the gifted program and made many good friends.

This school provides Catholic education at its finest! I am a graduate of St. Patrick Catholic School and our family is very happy with the academic preparation our two daughters are receiving. The principal, faculty and staff work cohesively to model virtues to every student. We couldn't be more blessed to be a part of the St. Patrick School Community!
