John XXIII provides students w/ top notch education! The teachers provide students individual attention and know their students strengths and need for improvement. Teachers are willing to work w/ the student and the family, and are available to parents. John XXIII provides students w/ a well rounded education, including basic skills, art, religion,music, gym, computer, Spanish, etc. I could not imagine my children going to any other school.
As transplants into this city, J23 has been a welcoming and wonderful environment for our kids and our family.
I have two children at John XXIII, and have become increasingly impressed with the quality of the school. The academics are strong, with above average Terra Nova test scores (in the 70-80th percentiles for most grades)and a commitment from the present leadership to expand advanced classes (currently advanced math for grades 6-8) and the incorporation of foreign languages into all grades. Extracurricular activities include sports, chess club (high partcipation), civic and service organizations and an exceptional program known as 'Falcon Philosophers' which is organized by highly energetic parent volunteers to expand on traditional academics. As non-Catholics, we are welcomed and included in all aspects of the education--and as parents, we appreciate the emphasis on values and compassion for others. The Principal is very approachable and reaches out to parents through quarterly 'Breakfast with the Principal'. Overall, the quality of the school is excellent and good value for tuition dollars.
