In St. Joseph School the possibilties of a child getting a good education are fair. However, teachers will constantly bother you about the smallest things and will not stand for any open-minded questions. In St.Joseph School chidren are tought to be very close minded and there is a huge lack of creativity. My mother is constantly bothered day after day for very little things. In my opinion do not send your child to this school unless you expect them to be a military sargent.

My daughter has been going to this school for 4 years since Nursery and she loves. They are very strict and conservative but this is exactly the reason why she is in a catholic school. My daughter has good principals and I have no concern regarding her safety when she is there. They are very concern about working parents and have all types of programs to facilitate your like (morning programs, after school, etc..

My son has been in this school for the past 3 yrs. He had some challenges when we moved here. I agree that they are generally not progressive, but in our case the teachers and Asst Principal were very willing to work with us. He has made a lot of progress with their structure and guidance & has learned a lot. I also find that the afterschool program is good, a combo of homework help and play/ gym time. The Asst. Principal is excellent; she knows the students by name, is caring and sincere about wanting to help. The principal has poor skills; rarely communicates with parents, execept for obligatory parent meetings, and does not at all seem interested in listening or making change. It's a very traditional school, not for all kids, but has worked for my son. I think most teachers care & it's a very safe school.
