What a hidden gem! Teachers are amazing! This is my son's second year and I can't be happier for him to continue here. This school has such a sense of community. All teachers and staff are extremely engaged and become like family as you get to know them. I highly recommend this school. It being a small school makes it as hidden gem because children get more one-on-one time with teachers. Please consider joining our St Elisabeth community.

My family loves this school. All the teachers are caring and get to know you and your kids. This really is a Catholic education, with the kids attending mass every Monday morning and emphasis on charity to the poor. The older kids look out for the younger ones. They have a great Science teacher who really gets the kids involved and excited about science. My kids were really inspired by their teacher to read more. It is a small school, less than 150 students, but that actually makes for a more personalized teacher to student ratio.

This school is wonderful. The teachers and staff are caring. They take pride in helping our kids to learn new and exciting things. Every teacher gets to know you, even if your child is not in their class yet! My children are thriving in this school.
