St. Johns Parish Day School Reviews

“My 1st grade daughter came home every day energetically enthused about her school, her teacher, and even her homework. As a 6 year old, she is reading at a 4th grade level and proved her writing skill with a 20-page story she authored. She loves math. This is typical of results. SJPDS created such a positive environment for her that we unhesitatingly enrolled our 5 year old in their kindergarten for next year. I have found each and every administrator and teacher to be the archetypes of professionalism and collegiality. If you want to mold your child into a self-motivated, life-long learner, this is the place.”

“St. John's is such a special place to learn and love! St. John's values the importance of small classes and children are met at their level. They are challenged each day and the teachers give out of the box assignments. Though times are hard, I encourage all who are looking to invest in St. John's for their children. They become confident, well-rounded young men and women!”

“I have nothing but glowing reviews of SJPDS. I have a Masters in early childhood and this school is every teacher/mom's dream. Wonderful homework and lessons. Amazing teachers. Involved parents. Hands on learning, and fantastic specials (art, media, science)I can only hope all my children can attend this school! It is a sacrifice finacially for my husband and I to send our children here, and worth every penny. Awesome school!”

“What a wonderful school! in a community with so many terrific public schools, St. Johns has shown why it stands above all and is worth the investment. The preschool reputation is tops - there is no other preschool in the Baltimore/Washington area that can top it! Children leave preschool writing, beginning to read, knowing their address, all numbers, letters, blending sounds, etc. I can't say enough good things and the Christmas program will make you never wish your children had to leave! As for the lower school, it is a academically rigorous program with a fun-filled and loving environment. All our 5th graders get accepted into any private school to where they wish to go! The teachers really care and go above and beyond to make each child reach their best!”

“We have been at this school for 5 years. It is not the same anymore and we are leaving. There is a large turnover in staff and students. Discipline is uneven and serious incidents have been mishandled. There have been numerous thefts. Security is non-existent. Nothing happens to teachers who aren't doing their job. Curriculum needs work (especially math!). New administration has made promises that they haven't kept.”

“We have been with the school more than 4 years. This is the worst year so far and the school is just not the same anymore. There is a high turnover in both adminsitrative and teaching staff. Security is none and there were even thefts reported during school hours. The preschool tuition has been ridiculously increased by 20% every year.”

“Some teachers are wonderful at this school. Some teachers are not. Teachers don't get fired at this school. We've been there for two years now. We've had one great year and one bad year.”

“My son has attended St. Johns for 3 years now and absolutely loves it. He comes home from school everyday happy! The quality of education he is receiving is tops. From Head of school down all staff is warm, inviting & friendly. He receives a well rounded education including Art, Music, Science, Spanish and P.E. 150 words are not enough to express how much I love this school. Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, friends etc. are all welcomed to be involved. From preschool up children are taught to treat each other with respect. There is a strong empasis on community and that everyone can make a difference. The children are proud to participate in many community service activites throughout the year including can food drives, hurricane relief, and recycling for the environment. It truly is a community of learners!”
