Wonderful school! I am a non-catholic parent of three students and absolutely love the school. I am confident that my children are in a caring, clean and SAFE environment where their only concern is learning. We have been at this school for six years and I can honestly say the most egregious trouble I have heard of was a student caught cheating. The school offers a challenging curriculum and many extra-curricular activities. They have a great science lab, computer/media center, library, clean/safe playground , full size gymnasium, soccer and softball fields. In addition to the core classes: Religion, Spanish, Physical Education, Music and Personal Finance are taught. Small class sizes and one on one tutoring provide my children the attention they need and deserve to excel. The multi-cultural/multi-religion student body and faculty as well as the sports programs (Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, and Softball), Scholastic and Social Clubs and community service programs make my children very well rounded. Parental is not only recommended but encouraged! We have a new principle and are in the process of building a new state of the art school. I am truly excited about this school and highly recommend you take a look for yourself!

A price cannot be put on a child's education. St. Patricks offers the best education for your child, the teacher's commitment to the children is what has kept my son here for seven years. Great school and faculty!
