Saint Francis believes in building strong academic skills while also building character and core values in its students .The administrators , teachers , and staff put the students first above all else . It is the reason my children have gone to school at Saint Francis ( one is a graduate and one is graduating this year ) It has literally been the GREATEST GIFT I could have ever given to my kids .

I did not think I would love switching from public to private. started at this school freshman year and love it. The teachers truly care about each student and have set us all up for success. Thanks to this school, I feel prepared to enter college in the fall.

The administration is not transparent to families. I would not recommend this school for your child if you are expecting an open dialogue with the staff.

St. Francis has been amazing for both our daughters that have opposite learning needs. We attended the school for kindergarten in 2020, and instruction didn't stop during COVID.
