As a student at St. Joe I would personally like to see the school updated. The football players need a new athletic facility and we really need a track at the school. The football field needs some improvement or to be turfed like the other private schools in the area. The track team has to run around the school for practice which makes it hard to be prepared for a meet without the training on a proper track.

The kids there are very racist. The amount of slurs I've heard come out of students mouths is unacceptable. I almost go expelled because I exposed the racist things the kids say, but none of them got in as close of an amount of Trouble as I did. Do not send your child here if you are lower middle class, black, Hispanic, Asian, or any other POC. This school is a waste of money unless you're rich or upper middle class and white. Please please pleaseeee save your money if you are POC. That's it.

My experience at St.Joseph Catholic School has truly been a wonderful experience. I consider everyone there to be apart of my family and I just love all of my teachers. The community at St.Joe is amazing and I'm so glad to be apart of the Bruin community and be able to get the chance to graduate as a Bruin.

He thrived at St. Joseph and we were embraced by the other kids, parents and staff. This school will...

This is a wonderful school. I see the silly, and mostly adolescent, postings about unfair teachers and snobby students but these comments could not be further from the truth. My grandchildren were in the 8th and 10th grades when they transferred to St. Joe and it has been both a heartwarming and int...
