[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am current parent at St. Patrick’s and we absolutely love it. We are a completely normal family, not wealthy, just normal. Most of the school is pretty normal. Yes, there are some rich families, but you really can’t figure out who they are unless you are looking for them. It’s not in your face. The community is welcoming and parents really get along and include everyone in events.

St Patrick’s is a warm and kind School that is still academically challenging in age appropriate ways. My children are all different and they all love it! The kids are genuinely happy there. It’s one of the best decisions we made.

I was a parent at St. Patrick's for over 15  years until very recently. Saying the wealth isn't in your face is ridiculous. Actually, it's not the wealth in your face so much as the social climbing and exclusivity. Those young moms using St. P's as their entree to Chevy--and if you can't help them, well, don't bother. And let's hear how the placement for current 8th graders just went then determine for yourself how well they have been prepared for the next step. [/quote]

What do you mean about placement?[/quote]

We were a longtime St Patrick family. Mean mom/dad depends by the grade. Our experience is if the kids who are considered popular by peers have an inclusive family then they set the stage of kindness because the mean mom’s are forced to behave. Goes the other way if a popular kid does not care about being nice ie it usually goes back to parents. It is so hard to judge kids in nursery but schools need to really vet parents and frankly you can tell from the get go on parents. Have not heard about eighth grade placement and/or fifth and sixth. We were from era that best students left in sixth but maybe that has changed.[/quote]
