Saint Patrick Catholic School

The St. Pats community is a family. The administrators and teachers truly care for their students and work hard to foster the minds, bodies, and spirits of the children. They have high expectations for students academically, but also behaviorally, which prepares students for the next chapters in their lives. I love St. Pats! It has been a blessing to be a part of this community! Go Shamrocks!

St. Patrick School is exceptional! A dynamic, accredited learning environment supported by professional, knowledgeable and flexible staff and faculty. A caring contingency of engaged parents and community partners. An unapologetic Catholic identity that welcomes all, loves all, serves all. The first and only school for our beautiful, bi-racial, ecumenical children. St. Pats is the gold standard of elementary education! The building is closed, but learning is on! Smooth transition from classroom learning to online school. Motivated and innovative faculty rerouted curriculum immediately through the building closure of 2020. Students, ages 3 (Preschool) - 8th grade are thriving in the online classroom community. So blessed to have our kids attend this school! All are welcome!

GREAT GREAT GREAT SCHOOL. Sending my kids to Saint Patrick has been the best decision my wife and I could make for their education. There is a commitment at St. Pat's to the kids, their future that resonates from the Staff, Teachers, Parent community and the Parish that you just don't feel anywhere else. The Recruiting and hiring of Chris Gavin as Principal a well respected Principal from Bellermine. The Constant improvement in technology. Adding Ipads and Chromebooks for student use. The Active Parent Community that sponsors fun family type events and even some needed parent only events through out the year. most of all the Teachers... The small class size is one reason but the real reason is the TEACHERS .. they really care about your childs development and not just test scores. You would be challenged to find the level of commitment other schools at EVERY grade level. Again best decision we made for our kids and now that school is out they are already talking about fall reinforces the decision we made was the right one.

St. Patrick School is virtual "diamond in the rough" in Tacoma. There is no stronger private school in Pierce County when it comes to education which includes only the highest caliber of teachers as well as parental support. If you are looking for a place where your child will receive a well-rounded, faith-filled (but not over the top) education in Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington, you will find no better school than St. Pat's!
