St. Phillip is a pretty good school, especially for parents who want their kids to be in a smaller class environment. They have really good teachers. They have extended hours. They have religion; they have a choir that has performed in mass as well as a few other places. They have a new dance team, and they have after-school tutors as well as a fun with food class and other programs.

St. Phillip Neri is a good school. The 4th-grade teacher Mrs. Ashmore is amazing. She's teaching math & reading above the kid's current grades which is amazing. I love that the classes are small & that the kids are also learning religion. They have good after-school programs as well as early & late drop-off times which are very flexible.

SPN is a small school, But its great because the kids are able to receive personalized attention as the classes are small. My kids really benefit from the smaller classes. They have a great program for Math & Reading called I-Ready which helped my kids advance with math , and reading. I especially love the 1st & second grade teachers as they are the favorite. The teachers are very assessible as well, and they communicate through the class Dojo often.
