There are several good hearted teachers that want the best for each student. Administration really brings down down potiental of the school. Students have no option in classes or allowed to voice opinion on classes they are assigned. No NHS, no college prep, minimal clubs.

Saint Joes is a great school academically, however be prepared because you will not have a traditionally high school experience. Nevertheless I love my friends so much and I have met so many amazing people here and have been involved in such great activities. There are drawbacks but I wouldn't trade my time here.

If you are considering this school, please take note of most recent reviews about this school. My daughter currently enrolled at this school and will not be returning.
