I loved the staff and their dedication to the students. They made themselves available for extra tutoring in the mornings, during lunch, and after school. They truly cared about the students and wanted us to succeed. While the material was extremely hard, it teaches students hard work and truly prepares us for our responsibility in college.

We have been blessed to send our three sons to Pope John Paul II. Each one of them had outstanding academic experiences with teachers who went above and beyond to support their learning needs and to challenge their growth. They each found meaningful ways to explore their varied gifts and talents and find ways to get involved through the media program, the fine arts program, and the athletic program.

It’s so bad way to much home homework and so menu other bad things this is the worst school in the state! Don’t go here unless you want your child to be depressed all the time. It’s just horrible.

Our daughter just finished her Senior year at JP2. Even with the pandemic, we had an amazing experience. The involvement and level of interaction with the students even online during our "Zoom" school was more than we could have ever anticipated. The athletic programs, academic rigor, fine arts, and...
