School Reviews

St. Patrick's School is absolutely outstanding. I went there from grades 3 through 8 and it was an amazing experience. The staff is very thoughtful and makes sure that they get to know everyone. We were challenged but in a good way. The teachers make sure that you understand everything you are being taught, and can work with you one on one without making you feel ostracized. Our school mass was very lively and all who go enjoy it. Plus, safety is a main goal at St. Pats. You have to press a buzzer to be let into the school, and have to go straight to the office. In addition, the school is very modern, with upgraded laptops, a gymnasium, a large library, and a music room with brand new instruments. I played in the school band and sang in the choir, so I can validate that the music program is exquisite. Overall, the students and staff are very kind, and welcoming. Five out of five stars.
