I absolutely love St. James Academy. It provides me with the best community I could have as I make the transition from middle school to college. It also provides me with life-giving faith formation. I have learned how to be authentically Catholic and have felt free to be myself whenever and wherever.

The worst part of SJA is the admin and how two faced they are. Straight up told me my mental health was to bad to go on a trip with the school, was called mentally disabled, and I was made to feel bad about my body. The 2 stars are for the teachers because honestly they are 10/10 they try so hard to make the students feel better but I feel like the admin ruin everything.

All the staff truly care about the students and want them to succeed. While tuition may be expensive, the amount of knowledge one is able to gain and the community one could be a part of is worth it.
