I was surprised and disappointed by how the school handles applicants with learning differences. Even students with minimal classroom accommodations (like extended time or visual aids) seem to face barriers. I expected a more thoughtful, mission-driven approach — especially for capable, motivated kids. It left me wondering how inclusive the environment really is.

The school has access to minimum level resources where teachers aren't really focused on anything "above their pay grade" while a couple really do care. Diversity is very low and often silenced unfortunately under a subconscious culture of what the majority is. School determines your access to minimum but it is up to student to take resources and go beyond what the school offers.

I was from class of '77. We were taught how to learn and so we did. As a graduate of U-Lowell in engineering I did well. Compared to students of public schools the difference in education is noticeable. Discipline is also something that carried foreword. I will always remember my years at SJ and be thankful for what was instilled upon me.

I graduated quite a long time ago (1989), so my review may be outdated. But if the school has held true to its core values and long-standing traditions, things haven't changed much where it counts. Saint John's provided an outstanding foundation for my life, preparing me well for college and life be...
