Parents' Comments
Parent #1
At St. James, I feel like the teachers and staff truly care about my child and his welfare. I feel like it is a community for myself and family with wonderful morals. I also feel like their is a lot of support provided to the family.
Parent #2
St. James is still growing. The upper grades are unique in that they are combined grades. 3/4th, 5/6th, and 7/8th grade classes are taught together which is one aspect of the school that I struggle with. By the time my 3 year old is in those grades, it may not be an issue, as the school is focusing on increasing enrollment.
