School Reviews
5 5/17/2016
All 3 of my children have attended St. Patrick School, as well as myself and my siblings. I am extremely happy with the quality of education they have received. My oldest now attends St. Anthony's in South Huntington and is excelling in a competitive college preparatory school. The combination of faith and education has been invaluable in helping to guide my children to grow into the great people they are becoming.
