Both of my sons have attended the pre-school program and summer camp. They have had caring teachers who have made sure they eat and are well taken care of. The school has a sense of community and the principal knows the kids by first name. Overall my kids have had a great experience and they love school.

St. Joseph The Carpenter School has a fast paced environment for elementary school children. The academic expectations placed upon for example a student in 1st grade is elevated to the expectations of a 2nd grader. So each grade level is actually one grade level up. This creates an environment of stress for the child to reach those expectations. The pick up is chaotic. Very noisy in the cafeteria. It takes the teachers a long time to escort the child to the cafeteria for dismissal. There is no grassy area for the playground and thus children must play in the parking lot which is not safe. The massive amount of homework assigned to the student can be overwhelming so be prepared for that. Their school uniforms can only be purchased at one particular store and they are expensive. Overall, the school needs improvements to help children have fun while learning and not experience pressure to perform at the teacher's high expectations.
