Both of my kids go to St. Joe's and it is a great school. We have a new principal and he has made the school even better. I read the previous reviews and thought the mom worrying about the mom cliques was maybe insecure. My kids have gone there for 5 years and although i do see moms chatting in the playground, i think that's normal. I don't get into the mom cliques because that's truely not my concern. I associate with a few mom's that their kids are friends with mine and they are great! It's a great school with a great education. It's not a social club!
My children have attended SJS and I could not have asked for a better experience. Academically the school is outstanding and the community of the school is one that is warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend St. Joseph School.
In response to the previous rating. We are also out-of-towners and have not experienced this kind of snubbing at all. We have noticed that many of the families have known each other for many years and thereby have long standing (30+years) relationships but we always felt welcome and have regular play-dates from within. The 'one star' rating based on a single aspect seems spiteful and unfairly drags down the rating; therfore I counter with a five.
I liked this school, but to be honest I removed my kids because of the moms. I am from out of the city and most of the moms there were from Medford, like lifelong residents. They all knew each other and are very clique-ey. I'd come to pick up my daughter and they would stay in a group chatting and completely ignore me, they also did not invite my child to their homes. I am not paying all that money to send my child to school and be made to feel like an interloper. As i said the school itself was great and if your from Medford I guess I'd send my kids.
