This high school has prepared me during all 4 years to be ready for the challenges I will face in college. All of the teachers and guidance counselors take a personal interest in your success and will work with students to lead them in the right direction. The environment at Saint Joe's is also very welcoming, with upperclassmen mentoring freshmen and demonstrating the brotherhood that is found throughout the entire school.

The teachers truly care about you and begin to prepare you for college from the second you walk in the school.

I am a graduate of St. Joe's circa 1991 and the curriculum prepared me for a strong academic career including a MS from an Ivy League school. The student atmosphere of acceptance and inclusion made the transition to HS an easy one. One of the most important aspects was the support and encouragement student athletes receive to excel on the field and in the classroom. Because St. Joe's is nationally recognized I was able to be noticed in my sport and given a scholarship to west coast university for my undergrad studies. I will send my sons to St. Joe's.

Ehh St. Joe's is okay. I think the thing that irritates me most, besides the tuition, is how mediocre St. Joe's is in spite of its arrogance. For Christ's sake, the motto is "Where excellence is a habit, not a goal." The ego that stems from those words alone infuriates me, especially considering a)...

Great school! Wonderful atmosphere. My son became much happier here after the public school. BUT, big disappointment - biology teacher. If you are interested in biology - consider other options.
