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.

  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.

  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.

  My son and I love this school. He so excited with a lot of new things in there. Thank you so much for help him everyday.

  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.

  I am a mother of 2 children who currently attend St. Patrick School.  My children have only been enrolled at St. Patrick for a few months and I am extremely... read more satisfied with the positive impact the school has had on my children.  The school lives up to its mission statement to focus and provide a "strong academic, spiritual and moral foundation in a safe and nurturing environment..."  In addition, and equally as important to me, is the school's mission to "...celebrate its diversity."  And that it does.  St. Patrick School has already begun to nurture my children's academic progress.  The principal, Ms. Olga, recently mandated my daughter to tutoring which is offered at the school (the choice was also offered to obtain my own tutoring for my daughter).  My daughter came home relieved and ecstatic about tutoring.  She explained to me that "tutoring is fun and they help me so much! Mom, I want to go to tutoring everyday."  This has helped me as well as my daughter's homework is complete when we get home.  Every experience will be different - as different as every child.  However, St. Patrick unites all the experiences via its celebration of diversity and continued respect for the reality of our changing communities.  The school ensures an awareness within your child that you just cannot find in a public education.  This, I believe, will offer a more profound foundation for my children in a complex ever-changing world.  The education here is worth it on multiple levels. If you value the concepts and beliefs that comprise this school's mission - you'll appreciate St. Patrick.  #happymotherandhappierkids

  As a mother of four kids who have attended St. Patrick from kindergarten, two have graduated and the third will graduate this year and like her siblings will continue their... read more education at St Francis High School. I recommend that you consider St. Patrick's school as an option for the education of your children since in my experience, the education they have received has been excellent and not only academic but also spiritual and especially in these difficult times that we are living with the lockdown and closing of schools. I am so thankful that St. Patrick's students have been able to continue their online education and continue their almost regular learning schedule and talk every day with their teachers and classmates and we as parents can work together with teachers and with the principal, who always make sure students are making the most of their online education and contact us if necessary. For all this and much more, I give the education offered by the St. Patrick's School five stars.

  We have been established with St Patrick since 2015. My son has had a pleasant expiereience thus far at St. Pats. We were blessed with the most awesome TK/Kinder teacher... read more Ms. Lupe she has created the best experience for my shy lil guy. She is honest, kind, and works so hard to ensure each child has the best learning experience. My child has truly blossomed and I owe a lot of that to the wonderful teachers and staff. The extended care and teacher's aide staff are the most kind hearted people you will ever meet!!!

As a volunteer and very involved parent my only gripe is the lack of parent participation. The school constantly has to beg for parents to be involved. On many occasions my child was held back from field trips due to lack of parent volunteers. I am a single parent who works full time during school hours, with no additional help, and I exceed my commitment with volunteer opportunities and involvement in any way I can toward the school. The school has all the tools it needs to be grand it's the parents who are not helping the school grow where it needs to.

Most of the staff has been there since my niece attended in the 90s and majority of the staff is excellent. But they are advertising St. Pats at churches like Guadalupe or in East SJ that are not native to downtown so I'm thinking that's where the disconnect lies with the parents since it's not their neighborhood. I live in this Community and I want to see it grow and get better so I over extend myself at the school.

I recommend you give Saint Pats a try you might fall in love with the wonderful teachers and staff. They really are genuine, quality people and that's very important. The blended learning program the school offers is also very good my child does very well, and I know the curriculum def exceeds our local schools standards. They really do mean well. The parents just really suck! Not all...just a lot of them.

  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.
