This will be our 3rd year attending St. Patrick School and we couldn't be happier.   The teachers and the principal have been wonderful, we especially love Ms. Lupe, the kindergarten teacher.  My kids receive individualized instruction in their classrooms according to each of their needs. The onsite aftercare program is a very convenient.  It is secure and the staff is fabulous.  They provide personalized homework assistance to the students that need it along with science, art projects and games.   What started out as a search for a more convenient location to my work with aftercare has turned out to be a blessing.  Not only are my children thriving but they are doing so in a faith based environment that is affordable.  Read Less

Due to some unfortunate circumstances, we were not able to continue to afford our Catholic school, so we came to St. Patrick's. After a few months we realized that this school was not a good fit for our family.The two biggest reasons were religion and the overall care of our kids. At St. Patrick's the kids do not go to mass every week. In addition to this, my 4th grader let us know that religion here was memorization as opposed to her engaging in her religion.With regard to care, our youngest has a medical condition where they require medicine before they can eat. On two separate occasions, we goofed and forgot to include her medication. Our child let the teachers know that she needed her medication, but the school failed to get ahold of us. As a result, on two separate occasions, our daughter went without lunch.Some other things that we noticed were:A lack of volunteer opportunities for working parents.No before school care.No monthly price options for after school care.No uniform exchange (they have used uniforms that you can purchase at half price of Merry Mart despite some being more than gently used).Each child must own 3 distinct uniforms: PE, Regular, and Formal. (About $280/child) The school is used by people in the community on weekends so the kids can't leave anything in their desks that you wouldn't mind parting with.The Principal is very sterile. Best we can tell she seems to lack training in emotional intelligence or she is more of a mechanical thinker but empathy is not her strong suit.  Read Less

My daughter and nephew attended this school from K thru 8th grade. I had the same concerns about Loaves and Fishes and the homeless hanging around but in all those years not even a hint of anything bad every happened. My granddaughter started K last year at this same school and my daughter and I couldn't be happier. The teacher is amazing and it seems like all the children loved her. I really like the fact that the school is run by nuns. They present as very professional and focus is on learning.They offer extra-curricular activities and don't waste time and money on frivilous holidays. They have a daily prayer and learn about Catholicism but religion is not pushed on them.   Mary M  Read Less
