SJHS is a small family oriented school that cares about each and every student and family. It offers so much for being so small. There is something for every student. The teachers care about my student. The coaches help the students learn and improve skills. It's such a great value. There is a lot of financial aid. They work with families on tuition. I would like more families to find out about this gem of a school.

While this school does provide a good education for college, it should in no way be included in the category of a prestigious school. It lacks the support and care of students, and refuses to make changes to help them, especially in the case of academic classes and pursuits.

This school will get you prepared for college but getting through the four years could be quite challenging. The administration tends to focus on small issues rather than the whole picture that will propel the school forward. There is too much focus on things that are not even used or wanted. The wants and needs of the students to make the school a more enjoyable place to come are sometimes ignored.

Mass once per week is embarrassing as the students are often fidgety or seemingly lost.No...

The safety and well being of the students forced to walk through parking lots without jackets during all types of weather is ridiculous and frightening.Also, there is now no cafeteria service so the grade for food can not be low enough.The cost is ridiculous when there are other more local Catholic...

If you are considering this school, please take note of most recent reviews about this school. My daughter currently enrolled at this school and will not be returning. Huge disappointment and a mistake as a parent on my part, I should have listened to other parents reviews. Academically, my child wa...
