GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It is small enough to feel like family and large enough to offer a variety of experiences related to academics and extra-curricular activities.

St. James High School is a great school to attend. The school academics are amazing. The teachers work with you if you don't understand something, they'll make sure you get everything you need in order to be successful.

My experience at St. James High School was amazing. I honestly can't complain about the last two years I have been attending the school. The teachers are very caring and offer assistance when students struggle. They also talk to the students about how what we learn can help us in later life. This is an underrated trait at schools that do not get the attention it deserves. I like that the most about St. James High School.

This is the best school ever.Everybody is cool and there are people who are messy .The teachers are determined to teach those who want to learn.The ones who don't wan to learn are brought to detention for the day.There are people that lead you in the right direction and the wrong direction.
