St. Joseph Catholic School 6500 Highland Drive, Vancouver, WA 98661

"The staff here is great. They care about the kids. Catholism is at the core of the school environment."

"This place breeds bullies, I went there from K through 7th grade and was horribly bullied by the students and most of the teacher refused to do anything. The teachers that DID try to help me: Fired, the Students that tried to befriend me: Ostracized and run out. I was told by the horrible principal there 'God tests the children he loves most, and because of all this he loves you the most! When he stops testing you, it means he doesn't love you anymore' at NINE YEARS OLD!!!!!! Finally when I stood up for myself and told everyone I was not going to take their bullying anymore, I find out a bunch of kids wrote fake suicide notes they claimed I wrote. Luckily my parents noticed that every note was NOT my handwriting at ALL, but rather 6-7 different handwriting formats and the principal decided to 'Indefinitely Suspend me for the students safety' even though it was easily confirmed I wrote none of those horrible notes and pictures. To this day I still struggle with what this place did to me. The last year of middle school I went to a public school for 8th grade, and learned more in that 1 years than I did in all 8 years at this shill of a private school, and even made friends quickly that I still have to this day who did all they could to help me recover what I could, I even saw my old P.E. Teacher who claimed they treated him better here than they ever did at this joke of a school. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! ST.JOES MAY COST YOUR CHILDREN THEIR CHILDHOOD!"

"Been here almost 8 yrs! I love it so much! Everyone is always kind and welcoming and I will be very sad to leave when I graduate. Go Cardinals! "

"My 2 kids went there till 2nd and kindergarten and they loved it! We love them so much and hope to visit them soon!!!"

"This school is absolutely amazing. The staff is not just courteous and professional, but actually cares about your child's development, both inside and outside of the classroom. There is a massive emphasis on the lost art of personal responsibility, making this a great choice for parents looking to raise leaders. If you are looking to surround your child with other children and parents who are pursuing excellence, this is the place."
