My overall experience at the school was amazing. they truly do prepare you for college applications. I would like to see them become more picky in who they admit into the school. There is a huge gap in students academic levels. a lot of the students also get away with a lot. Students are able to walk over teachers easily.

Saint John's Catholic Preparatory School is a great school with a wonderful sense of community as close knit as a family. The students are kind and welcoming to all and the faculty and staff always greet us with a smile on their face. Academics at SJCP are exceptional as they offer a variety of Advanced placement courses as well as dual enrollment opportunities. The school may be small however this only fosters a closer sense of relationship between the students and faculty members.

Saint John's is great academically. They care about their students and their Basketball Program is starting to make noise. Blessed to have received my education there.

Our children have had a wonderful experience at SJCP. It's a small family atmosphere where everyone knows everyone which makes us feel safe about our kids being at school.
