As former alumni this school is absolutely horrible. The policies are a joke, it was a waste of money and a horrible learning environment for students. It was extremely racist and extremely disrespectful. Its a horrible social environment as well as too constraining of a school. As soon as I made the switch to a school with a good curriculum, as well as an amazing student environment, I was so much happier and learning faster than I ever would at St John Bosco.

Bullying is allowed and will not be dealt with. The school also lacks effective and honest leadership.

parents have become helicopter parents and administrators have a difficult time remaining neutral.

My child was slapped shoved wrist twisted nothing was done. They didn't care. They protect the bullies not the victims. She is now suffering emotionally from the situations that have occurred. THERE WAS NO DISCIPLINARY ACTION TAKEN ON THE BULLY.

ST. John Bosco Elementary School is a complete joke. It is A waste of money and the children's time. We had to hire a tutor for our son to get in to a great high school, because he could not pass the entrance exam. Our daughters have struggled, because it is not challenging enough. The amount of bullying that goes on at that school is ridiculous. They don't even care that it is happening. Then there is that principal I would say she is ruining that school, but it's too late she already has. A lot of great families have left that school and a lot more are. They don't have teachers that know how to teach or what subjects to teach. They make up their own teachings as they go along. The Sisters at that school are money hungry. They are not doing Gods intended will because all they care about is money every little thing is them wanting more money for this and that. If you want to do a fundraiser at the school to help a family in need you have to pay them. This school has turned out to be a laughing stock. I won't be surprised if its closes down within the next 5 years.

I see kids after school playing flag football having fun and the coaches are outstanding. The two guys that run the Offense from what I see, are making this school stand out. They are great leaders and even more wonderful people. The other coaches are good too, but the two guys I saw that were working with the Offense were awesome... And hot too :)

St. John Bosco is an excellent school because of the stuructured environment. Every student has specific goals and expectations. The greatest goal set for my child is to attend college and to reach HEAVEN. What more can a parent want from a school. There isn't a perfect school with perfect administration or staff. We are all human and fall short of perfection. What we can do is work together with the school and help each other reach the goal. Come and see St. John Bosco if your looking for the a safe and acedenically/spiritually sound environment for your child.

I love this school because my child is receiving a tremendous witness of Catholic faith from the Salesian Sisters, teachers, and staff. The family spirit is strongly felt because my child is well accepted as individual. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

I attended from 4k-8th and loved the education and family I met there. I have a history of family attendance who have continued their education. Now I am looking to place my daughter in school and there is no question where she will attend. There are still teachers here from when I attended so I know its a great family that she will come to know and love!
