Awful quality teachers for the private school price. A third of the teachers are St Francis grads and teachers as a whole are not required to have a masters or any sort of background in education. Lousy counselors have broken confidentiality on numerous occasions for my daughter and her friends. Given the fact that it's a private school and they have no tenure track for teachers, one would think they would fire the bad ones. But that is far from the case.

Saint Francis is either paradise or one of the biggest struggles that you will have to deal with, and there are quite a few things that greatly concerned me about this school. - The grading policies make it easy for teachers to develop negative connotations of the student especially when it comes to. - Clubs are all student run and teachers lack involvement in them. Clubs are inconsistent and chaotic due to the lack of guidance for students -There is a huge gap between the honors and regular classes. When I switched out of honors in my junior year, the class was taught at an impossibly slow speed. - Rules are biased and excessively made to the point where nobody follows them... and then the school makes more rules to try to fix this. - There is heavy bias at this school, those with well connected families are given unfair support in comparison to other students. - College Counselors are unsupportive and do not provide you with any aid or resources even when prompted.

As a current student at Saint Francis, I can say that the atmosphere there is very welcoming. When I first started there, I had zero friends. However, within the first two weeks I was able to have several who I'm still friends with today.

Saint Francis is a special place to me, both as a parent and an alumni. I made lifelong friends there and still remember all of my teachers, some of whom have taught my own kids. The school has an incredible amount of spirit and it brings everyone together in a way that other schools can't. It seems...

This is a great school overall. The teachers re true professionals. They push the students hard but are usually fair. Discipline is strict but compassionate. The school has issues with bullying and with special needs students, but the admin team is being proactive about improving those areas of the...

Our family loves this school. Our child is extremely happy here. The schools caters to the needs of every child. Academics are top notch. The only thing I would like a change to is the policy of a few electives. In order to miss one semester of PE, the child has to be in marching band and foreign la...
