St. Patrick School

The school is a bit hidden but i wouldn't have it any other way. I love that the school is always organized and willing to accept feedback from parents. Both my daughters attend St Patricks and they love it. When my son is 4 he will be attending here as well.

My daughter is very excited to be in Kindergarten. School Just started about 2 weeks ago and she has finally learned to be more respectful and share with others. She is always eager to learn more when she's home. I'm excited for her to be in this school. I highly recommend for your child to attend St. Patrick School

I went to this school from kinder to eighth and let me tell you, never have I been in a more toxic environment. Ms Olga, the principal, now the middle school ELA and 8th grade Science teacher, is the most vile person ever. This isn't to throw shade or be mean I'm stating a fact that every generation of kids that she taught, thought this. Almost every memory I have had at this school was negative all because of, you guessed it, Olga Islas. In my first few years of attending this school I never really minded her because she treats the kids in the lower grades with basic respect, where as in middle school, kids are seen as troublemakers and delinquents even if they are good kids. Also because it was her first few years being principal as well. Anyways, she's a woman who is very hypocritical and this is being said by a student who has very recently attended this school, not a student from 2012. That being said, she hasn't changed. She is very hypocritical. You may be asking how she is hypocritical. Well, she always blames everything on the 8th graders and always indicates that they put inappropriate ideas into the younger kid's minds when the younger kids are sneakier and more rebellious than the 8th graders. It is not fair that the 8th graders are 'role models' to the kids because they do not want to be role models in the first place. She always calls out 8th graders who have unnoticeable dyed hair and yells at them while 5th graders can have streaky unkept green hair with no consequence that I knew of. She also has called multiple kids in my class stupid or indicated it and has told one boy that "if I were your mom I would be very disappointed." In addition, whenever she taught us outside of religion, she would always bring up religion and tell us her perspective on controversial issues like abortion. Of course, she always had a closed mindset and did not like when students would oppose her pro-life views. Instead of listening to the other side, like she says we should, she shuts them out and automatically says they are incorrect. She says that it is because the church opposes abortion and I get that, but not everything is about religion and not everyone is going to have the same views on everything. So, this usually ends up into fights between a teacher and multiple students. It is very inappropriate and most students find the whole issue ridiculous. I would write more about my experiences with Ms. Olga and her ridiculously contradictory dress code but I'll spare you from that long rant. Moreover, the other teachers are probably not any better than ms Olga. They are pretty much the younger brainwashed naive  versions of Ms. Olga, with an exception of Mr.Navarro, with their opinions and little comments. And those are just the middle school teachers. The elementary teachers are eh. They usually come and go because Ms. Olga cannot pay them enough to stay. Since they left, most of them never taught me and talked to me but from the times they have talked to me or my classmates they seemed ignorant and like high school means girls. I always see them whispering and having their little cliques and it always seems that they are trying to be intimidating. I get that they are young and in their early to mid 20's but come on. Furthermore, there is a HUGE sanitary issue at St. Patrick's. The Girl's bathroom has been blown up a lot this year. The big stall has been shut down twice for a broken handle and diarrhea and was left there for a week to harden and another stall has shut down for having poop stains on the seat of the toilet. ANOTHER TIME LITERAL CACA CAME UP INTO ALL THE SINKS AND WE COULD NOT WASH OUR HANDS FOR A FEW HOURS. After that, only 1/3 sinks worked for weeks until my friends complained and they finally did something. I know this is nasty and probably sounds like propaganda to not put your kids here but this actually happened. Also, in the boy's bathroom there has been a lot of pee problems and it always floods. The problem was so extreme that they shut down the boy's bathroom for half a day. It is very messy in there and the boys do not take care of it. I know that is a student issue but I would not want my child to be a part of that. Also, the water fountains are very nasty and water tastes like chlorine but do not ever mention that to Mr. Jed because he gets very butthurt. Same with the food. The beans look like horse caca. They claim this is 'healthy' government food but I know a lot of people who have thrown up after eating it or had stomach problems. Overall, I would not recommend you putting your child here and that is coming from a kid that went for almost 10 years. I had fun with the kids that came and went and having new teachers entering over the years but it was not the best. Unless you want to have a happy go-lucky child turn into a miserable teenager who feels caged in their school environment, DO NOT TAKE THEM HERE.
