| 5 3/16/2017 Saint Raymond Academy is a great school! My daughter graduated from there a few years ago and I can't say enough about this school. The teachers are very concerned and the atmosphere is family- like. All students are college ready by graduation and many go to top colleges. - Posted by Parent - Proud parent |
