Several neighbors have or are currently attending both schools and hands down without a doubt the NPS families are much much friendlier, more inclusive, and seem less interested in how others can help them with their social mobility.

Does St. Patrick’s have weekly Chapel? How religious is it?

St. Patrick’s. Great music/theater, wonderful art program and yes, my non-athletic kids loved and still love Mr. Brophy. OP you really can’t go wrong with either school if you’re looking for a small and hands on K-8 or K-6. We choose St. Pat’s and my three graduates loved school from nursery till 8th grade. A happy place.

You just might also run into a church bully type on occasion.

The staff also seems to be getting less diverse of late. These facts could all be related!


The staff has been getting more diverse.

So NPS didn’t drink the kool aid and go full on fake woke? What about the other two?


They still have a DEI person so not sure they are as conservative as above poster claims.


They are. The church keeps them in line.


How do they do this? Is it re LGBTQ issues? There is a first grade non-binary assistant who goes by the Mx. prefix, which is interesting.

Haven’t they always been “less diverse”?

80% of the staff falls into the conservative base or liberal?

St. Patrick’s. Three graduates. Friends who went to NPS and loved it there. Good luck between two great choices. Do we know if OP ever decided?

And plus a million on Mr. Brophy. Hero in my house to this day. He is a saint!
