St. John the Baptist School

"We were new to the area and needed to find a good school for our fourth grade daughter. Even though St. John's was not on our initial radar, we decided to take a tour. Ms.Clabby who is one of the administrators and wears many hats at the school was so friendly and she made the process very easy for us. My daughter immediately felt comfortable with the small school setting and was excited to start. We appreciate the smaller student population which actually makes us feel safer during a pandemic. Her teacher is thoughtful, creative, and very inclusive to all the students. I would recommend this school for parents who are looking for a smaller school setting and provides strong academics. The only downside is that there aren't many extracurricular clubs like public schools may offer. I've been impressed at how easily kids can go transition to remote learning very easily on days when the city's power is out due to storms. Overall it is a safe and kind school."

"I have been pretty please with Saint John during the pandemic. It was a great relief to be apart of a school that made the transition to distant learning so much easier. After hearing the stories of children being in class for 2 hours a day, I realized how fortunate my son was to be enrolled in this program. As with any new process there were challenges with the change, but they were all corrected in a timely matter. The staff was very supportive, and in the end my 8th grader had a chance to attend an outdoor graduation before going off to high school. We have been apart of the St John Family for 2 years, and I can that I made the right decision to enroll my children there."

"I made the decision to transfer my son to St John after his last school did not meet our needs during the beginning part of COVID in 2020. Not only did the school meet my expectations they have gone above and beyond to continue to demonstrate that they care about the quality of education that the children are receiving thru zoom. The teacher and the principal are readily available to us at any time. The school has hosted drive thru fundraisers to continue to stay involved with our community. The school cares about all aspects that goes into our children's education. I am so happy I made the switch to St John and I look forward to many more years here."

"The teachers care about students progress. The after-school program stays open till late, which was very convenient before the pandemic. The academics are decent, definitely better than in public schools in the area."

"This is our first year at the school and we are satisfied with our kindergarten experience It is the best decision we have made My son can add, subtract, writing having a spell-a-thon and read sentences. I think a good base is important and we are happy to have come here. He loves the teacher Mr. T and kindergarten class. As a parent, communication with the teacher is important for the success of my child and without a doubt the teacher has excellent communication with us, she is open to answering any doubts and questions we may have, especially this year it has been challenge for having an distance learning program ."
