Overall it has been a good experience with good academics and people. However, some of the AP classes I have taken were not taught well and had low passing rates.

I have had an incredible experience at St. Francis. I have enjoyed the academic and social opportunities that I have received in going here. I have also enjoyed the opportunities for spiritual growth.

The school has very low diversity. As the teachers try hard they do not seem to challenge and make sure students absorb well. The resources and facilities are always there and usually kept up. The college readiness is ok as there is large support for getting in but weak in teachers. Overall an ok school considering the size and support.

This is a great school, with a great environment. My child loves going to school every day and is involved in most of the athletic teams. My younger child is also going there when finished with middle school. Nothing negative about this school.

The school and all that it has to offer is amazing. Beautiful school and location. My daughter enjoys high school and that makes a parent very happy. We are so pleased that we chose this environment.
