Research St. Vincent De Paul Elementary School private Schools in Phoenix, Arizona

“I am disappointed in this school. The principle is so cold and stand off-ish that she definitely has her favorites with kids/parents. The curriculum is okay but for the money the environment is Lousy they do have a few (by this I mean 5 or less) really great teachers. For being a Catholic school they don't disciple enough, and I am no hardcore army sergeant, but I feel like they don't want to make people mad AKA lose money. Take your money and your child elsewhere, they might just be better off at a public school.”

“My daughter just started kindergarden and I feel satisfied with the teacher and what I see with all the teachers, I don't know enough though to rate just yet, but I did go to catholic school as well and feel that it helped tremendously if you were to compare it to a public school. I chose to go the same route for my kids because of the discipline and the teacher to student ratio, I know this school is limited in some resources compared to other private schools but having it be a smaller school is not necessarily a bad thing!”

“SVDP school curriculum is good. The teachers can be nice and caring, but at the same time favoritism for returning student is a problem. Some of the students attending the school I feel, are students that did not succeed with their behavior in a public school. Some of the parents use Catholic schools as a last resort to straighten them out. My daughter is a second grader; she is sometimes bullied not only by her peers, but by 4th and 5th graders. This is an issue that is on going and not resolved. This school would be an even better school if, SVDP had a new plan of action for disciplining students who continue to disrupt other students in class and cause harm to other students. Too many chances are given to students that just can t seem to get it right.”

“Quality education. Need expanded music program. Good principal/parent relationships. Safe environment. Safety, discipline and respect for others high on the list.”

“Very caring staff, teachers know all the children. Very safe school.”
