St.Phil's is outstanding in all respects -- a true gift to families and students. The adults who work with our children are second to none. The place is magical. My children are thriving at St.Phil's. They love going to school every day. We are forever grateful. (No bad/worst parts!!!)

The guidance counselor made problems 10x worse along with...

Please look at reviews. Most were submitted on the same day. This is not a 5 star school. We have been here three years. It is the worst school my children have ever attended. Classes are to large and teachers can't control the students. Bullying is rampant. We went to the useless guidance counselor...
