The teachers and administration at St. Pats is phenomenal. Their curriculum has allowed our student to enter into high school enrolled in all of the highest level courses. The teachers and principal is very passionate about what they do and care very much about our children. Highly recommend!

St. Pats is the best of the best in private schools. We are beyond blessed to have our children attend and be a part of the St. Pats community. St. Pats embodies academic integrity. Subjects are composed of rigorous curriculums that prepare students for the future. The teachers and staff are beyond suburb. They are dedicated, experienced and accomplished. Administration are true leaders with integrity, are supportive and have open communication. St. Pats offers a variety of academic and social/ emotional support along with enrichment opportunities. There are always events happening for families to be a part of within the school or parish. There are plenty of sports and clubs that are run by dedicated and determined faculty and parents. St. Patrick School is outstanding and I highly recommend it!

From day 1 kindergarten we have felt like family within the St Pats community. Teachers, staff, aides and the principal all work together to provide the most loving and structured education! We love that our son is getting the best education and getting to know Jesus too!

They have a wonderful preschool program and the school K-8 program is the best. Respectful students and a program that not only creates wonderful learners but also amazing citizens! The students are challenged from the start and it feels like a large family.

A wonderful school that we have been grateful to be a part of for many years. The close knit community, dedicated staff and outstanding curriculum had us hooked after our first child attended preschool. 9 years later and we couldn't be happier with our decision to send all of our children here.

St. Patrick's entire staff has been welcoming and loving to our children. The principal is amazing and supportive! We are proud to have our children attend St. Pats!

St. Patricks has been a huge change and large success for us. It is our first year here coming out of public school. We have a 2nd grade and Kindergartener at this school last year. They have both excelled in academics, are not fearful to go to school and have had no instances of neglect or bullying this year. The staff is friendly, helpful and truly care about the kids. The smaller class size, and loving environment has really helped them grow. They have also been able to identify struggles and intervene in a productive and fun way so the kids dont get left behind or lost and unnoticed. I would hands down recommend this school to anyone. Another thing I really like is that the junior high kids are paired up with a reading buddy of a younger age that really seems to be working to help with mentoring and helping the younger kids out not just with reading but acting responsibly and kindly. We couldnt have made a better choice.

My experience with Saint Patrick's school has been above and beyond my expectations. They take the time that is necessary to teach not only a faith-based curriculum but also a rigorous curriculum that prepares our students for the future. Mary and her staffi s an amazing asset, they have the experience that is necessary along with the carrying hand that makes you feel extra special.
Please join the St Pats family it wont disappoint.

Our St. Patrick Wadsworth experience has been excellent. Administration is responsive. proactive and supports a strong educational culture. During the pandemic onset the school and Archdiocese worked diligently and transparently to assure continuity in education and provide as much social interaction as possible - even through the toughest period. Spring term was cut short and the move to e-learning was fairly seamless, all things considered. Return to school in fall allowed a full five day in person curriculum.

We arrived three years pre-COVID and one of our children was behind in math and struggling due to our prior school. St. Patrick staff supported development from a challenged position to high performing honor role student in less than one year. Communication & feedback has been extraordinary from all educational & support staff.

St Pat's seems to be working hard to attract a diverse student body, however they have not yet achieved strong balance. There have been a few challenges that resulted in learning moments -handled fairly well by staff. The school is advocating for equity and tolerance, and from our perspective accountability. We are thankful and very pleased with our decision to enroll our multiracial children at St. Patrick Wadsworth.

St. Patrick School truly educates the whole child... academically, physically, and most important spiritually. Children graduate fully prepared to take on the challenges of high school.

Great school and great atmosphere for kids. Diverse learning opportunities to suit different personalities including STEM, sports, the arts, and much more. Come to St. Pat's and experience the warm feeling of a great community of teachers, parents, students, volunteers, and parishioners.

As a Lake County transplant choosing St Patrick School was not an easy task. 4 years later and we could not be happier with our experience. The teachers and staff are superior and the investment can't be beat! With a 5 and 2 yr old at home as well I must add that the preschool program is top notch and is also VERY affordable.

The teachers are thoughtful in their homework assignments, limit weekend homework and effectively communicate to parents whet are the expectations for their students.

Posted: December 10, 2018

The teachers truly care about their students and want them to learn and succeed.

Mrs. Vitulli and Father Merold always have the best interested of their students in mind and have made significant improvements in the school over the past three years.

We love St. Patrick School. Our daughters are receiving a great education along with strong morals. The expanded STEM labs for 4-8 graders along with introductory STEM for K-3 graders has ignited a passion for science in both of our daughters!

They want there students to succeed and no students are left behind

It is a five star school all the way from our principal with over 25 years of CATHOLIC EDUCATION experience

My child is new to the school, she comes home very happy. I am very happy with the teachers/staff its been a wonderful experience.

St. Patrick promotes excellence in Catholic education. Christian values are placed at the forefront of education and are evident throughout the curriculum. The children's values learned at home are reinforced at school. The children also form lasting relationships with other students that will last a lifetime.

We are a Catholic school with a faith based education. Our children are well rounded with excellence in academics and grounded morally. The go to school in safe environment with loving and caring teachers, aides, and administration. Parents are highly involved and expect nothing but the best for their children. We have reading specialists, a speech therapist, and a social worker available for an special needs that may arise. We are blessed with a pastor who loves our school and puts our kids first.

I went to St.Patrick's for seven years, and I can honestly say I wish I had gone the whole nine. When I got to high school, the level of education and rigor found in a St.Patrick's classroom really prepared me for HS academics. I was placed in the honors program, got into the highest math class offered to freshman, and graduated in the top 2%. I am now going into college with a full ride scholarship, and I can truly attribute my strong background in my faith and my dedication to academics to the staff and curriculum at St. Pat's.

While I love the fact that my children are receiving their education as well as their religious knowledge, I am sadly disappointed with some of the teaching staff. They are non responsive and do not seem to care whether your child sinks or swims. If your child fails any class, you are required to hire a $1000.00 tutor for each class failed, just to properly teach your child what they should have already learned in class before you can pass on to the next grade. Keep in mind that you are already paying $3000. + a year just to have your child go to that School. Unacceptable if you ask me. I will say there are some teachers and aids that perform above and beyond for the kids but they are becoming few and far between. As for the salary's for the teachers, I can understand they are not happy with what they get paid but this is the profession they have chosen and if they are unhappy with that they can always change jobs.

I went to this school for 9 years and graduated recently in June. Yes, the classes may be big, but somehow, some way, we blaze through stuff and learn quite a bit. If you've seen rowdy public school kids all you're life, you'd never believe how well behaved 8th graders can be during class. It's cramped, small, but if you ignore the aesthetics it's a very good school. I'm taking all honors at Carmel Catholic now and they're very easy after my basis at St. Pats!

We are so completely pleased with St. Patricks School. The communication is amazing from both the teachers and the principal. There is so much parental involvement which really makes a difference in the quality of education our children are getting. There is full day Kindergarten and although the class size is large, 31 kids, there is a full time assistant that the children LOVE. There are also parent volunteers that come in on a daily basis to read or lead a project. Our son is just having a great time and can't wait to tell us what he did each day! We are looking forward to 8 more years at St. Pats!
