My mother in law recommended me this school.
I thought I would not be able to afford to have my daughter attend  Saint Patrick School but I was so happy... read more to learn that they have financial aid for parents with low income. This is the 2nd year for my daughter who's now in the 1st grade. The teachers are very experienced and cares for each students. I love the way they interact with them in the class. And the staff members are very helpful and friendly. My daughter loves her school so I couldn't be happier.

  From my 8 years at St. Patrick School, I have noticed just how great the school is at preparing students for high school and beyond. First of all, the teachers... read more are prepared with lesson plans so that the students are always learning. Teachers also use the station-rotation model where some students meet with teachers and some work independently. After some time, students switch 'stations' and some are now working with the teacher and the others are working independently. This helps create small teacher-student groups that give students a chance to ask/answer questions. Another way St. Patrick School helps prepare students for higher education is through transitioning classrooms. Some teachers specialize in different subjects, so similar to high school, for example, students will transition to another classroom for that subject. Most students, after graduation, end up attending a Catholic High School. To prepare for this, teachers help students practice for the HSPT (High School Placement Test) and how to write great essays for admission. I can say this from experience because I am student at Bellarmine College Preparatory. All in all, St. Patrick School is amazing at preparing students for their later education.

  I'm so pleased with the faith based education my son is receiving. He is now in 1st grade but has been attending since TK. I am looking forward to enrolling... read more my younger son who will be staring TK in the Fall. As Alumni of St Patrick School, it is great seeing familiar faces and knowing my kids will be receiving the same level of education I did.

  This is the best school ever. They have great qualified teachers. The principal can really be helpful for familys in financial situation. The blended learning is a great idea which... read more seems to work. Sad to see some of the teachers leaving. Wish the best of luck!

  I am so bless that I had enrollment my two children go to Saint Patrick School.  I like this school so much with three reason. Firstly, All the staffs and... read more teachers responsible, caring, and disciple the children. Secondly, each classroom has very small size for instance second grader has around 20-24 students. That why, every family know each others. Parents also know another parents. We also did community services for schooling by helping in Art Class, Field Trips need parents driving etc....Lastly, The school helps those family can not afford to pay for tuition. The school offered us with financial Aid for instance , Basic Fund, FAST, Daughter of Charity.
I am highly recommendation those family who doesn't know this school (Saint Patrick School in San Jose) you should try it out by taking a tour to this school and see it first.

  St. Patrick's has definitely lived up to my expectations for my daughter's education. This will be our fourth year at St Patrick's! My daughter is currently two grade levels above... read more her grade level in reading and writing, and there is no doubt in my mind that the teachers and faculty have played a huge role in getting her this far! Every single faculty member puts in 100% at this school. Not only has my daughter progressed in her education here at St. Patrick's, but she has also learned immensely about the Catholic Faith. And I couldn't be any more thankful

  This school is amazing. My stepson graduated from here & now attends Mitty. All the staff are awesome especially the 4th grade teacher. They go above & beyond to make... read more sure all students succeed. They prepare the students for high standards. The scores of students are awesome & majority go on to attend private high schools. I recommend for parents to visit this school & keep it as an option for your students to attend. I have never seen a staff that cares so much. The tuition is very resonable & tuition assistance is availabe to those whom need it. The values of religion & mass also help students at a young age to follow the faith & word of God. There is nothing, but positivity coming from this school.

  The school is a bit hidden but i wouldn't have it any other way. I love that the school is always organized and willing to accept feedback from parents. Both... read more my daughters attend St Patricks and they love it. When my son is 4 he will be attending here as well.

  15 years ago, I started my first day here at St. Patrick's. I was one of three children of a single working mother who didn't have the funds to send... read more us to a great school but also didn't want us to have a shoddy education through the San Jose public school experience. This school was pretty much perfect for her - you could work off the tuition as a parent by working hours with the school and my siblings and I were able to have a relatively low teacher-student ratio which is pretty much impossible in public schools. The best thing about this school, for parents, is that they become a part of the school experience for the kids.

My experience here was definitely unique. My fondest memory of this school was actually before I started school at St. Patrick's. I was just dropping in for a day in first grade to see if I would want to switch to this school the next academic year and that was one of the best experiences of my life. I made so many friends that day and when I left to go home, I remember those other first graders that one day just telling me, "I can't wait to see you next year!" Needless to say, I went home to tell my mom, "I want to go to St. Patrick's!" Maybe my nostalgia is fogging my memory a bit, but I had a pretty fun experience with this school.

I won't lie and say I had the best or the worst teachers. I didn't have a perfect education, but who does? If you're a parent in a situation like my mom was 15 years ago, I can tell you that this is one of the best options out there.
