School Reviews

5  
St. Patrick's is a fantastic small, private school with a phenomenal staff. All staff ate very caringly and the small teacher-to-student ratio ensured that each child gets a lot of individual attention. The academics and curriculum are always improving and moving towards what will best prepare the students for life after St. Pat's. St. Pat's develops well-rounded students through faith-based education and community service. Also, the family atmosphere at St. Patrick`s makes everyone feel welcome.
