Open Quote This campus / facility is outstanding! The technology in the school, the smart classes and other brand new computer and Apple products not only expand the quality of this place but create a competitive edge in the curriculum. Visiting fro ma grant-writing agency I was happy to observe classrooms with exceptionally qualified teachers and very engaged students. The curriculum including dance classes, Spanish lessons, and a myriad of after-school programs along with onsite counselors make this school simply wonderful.

The principal has been there, from what I remember, about 20 years and her leadership and kindness were evident. As a Catholic elementary school that welcomes all peoples, the hospitality of the staff and excellent teachers along with the challenging academic programs make this a wonderful place of learning and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
