St. Joseph School 850 Wakefield Street, West Warwick, RI 02893

"I went to this school. My father put in the floor of the pre-k room for NOTHING and everyone still hated me. I will resent every parent who sent their child to this school, and sympathize with every kid who had to go to this school. The 2005 year made a video photo album to give to their students. I'm in it ONCE, everyone else? 4-5 times. I hate you. Edit: with how many views this has received I should probably do a little more explaining and less ranting. That's just how I wrote when I was 14. This school was needlessly cruel, and often attacked anyone that didn't fit into their clique. I remember bullies varying in ages from grade 5 to even other kids in pre-school with me. this bullying even extended to teachers and the principal just having no common regard for the playful imaginative nature of children. I remember being forced to eat food, and even being physically grabbed by teachers before. I was only a 5 year old. Naturally I was scornful toward religion for a while and it was a little traumatic for me, so it took a while to get over that."

"My son sent the baby to preschool here. I grew up Catholic, but grew out of being Catholic the older I got. I raised my kids to choose their own religion and, well, apparently my son is turning to Christ. They paid a few thousand dollars to send the baby to preschool here. Class ran, I believe, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. something around that time. They seemed to like the school a lot. Hopefully they won't read this review because I have to say that I don't think the baby learned much.. I feel like the only thing he learned were a few songs and prayers. He already knew the alphabet, how to count, basic colors, shapes, animals, well a lot. Maybe we taught him too much to expect him to learn at age 3. He did, however, learn how to be away from mom and dad and around other kids. How to behave in a classroom setting. Although, some of the things he picked up from the other kids, wasn't exactly nice. When we played together before he went to school, it was always pleasant. After hanging out with other kids he would say things like "ha ha" when I lost, or "I'm better than you" or say inappropriate things. I have to keep reminding him that these things hurt people's feelings and are not nice to say. I suppose it's part of growing up in the real world and it doesn't matter what school you go to!!"

"Not a great place for a school. The road is already busy from traffic going to and from route 2, a problem that the school's one streetside parking lot only exacerbates. No efforts by the school or city have been able to make crossing the street that borders it pedestrian-safe. This school is breaking news waiting to happen--for something like a flattened kid."
