If you are interested in effective charter schools or the need for a different approach to education, I recommend watching the recently released documentary Waiting for Superman.

You won't find a more dedicated and skilled staff than the faculty of a KIPP school.

Although it has been 13 years since I graduated from this school, I hope this review is still…read moresomewhat relevant and helpful. I had transferred to this school froom Hamilton Disston public school. That gives St Josaphat 3 stars right off the bat. The teachers were always helpful and seemed to genuinely care about their students' progress. There was no bullying or fighting I can remember among any students in the 6 years I was there. One of my favorite parts, and what may also be a big selling point for parents considering sending their children here, is the inclusion of the Ukrainian language in the curriculum. I can't speak for other students, but not only did I feel this gave me a solid foundation for learning other languages later on, but I also found it very interesting as a young student. Also included are lessons on Ukrainian history and culture, including the making of traditional Easter eggs and other crafts. Aside from that, the normal curriculum was more than adequate from what I remember, although I can't fairly compare them to public schools due to lack of experience. I can say the teachers were very qualified - they knew what they were talking about (not "book-teaching") and encouraged class participation. The negatives: If you do not want our child to learn Catholic theology, this school is not for you (although the hard-core nuns have gone by now) The first Friday of every month we had mass in the chapel in the basement. It is a popular misconception that the coldest place in the continental United States is International Falls, Minnesota. This distinction belongs to the St Josaphat school chapel. Combine that with sitting on METAL chairs, it was as if they were really trying to make you think of your sins. Towards the end, there seemed to be high teacher turnover. Several teachers would be different year to year. Not sure if this is still the case.

This school is absolutely horrible! My child told me to leave a review and everything said was told…read moreto me by her and her friends. The grading system is inaccurate. Most teachers are disrespectful and unkind. The school water fountains are always either not working, the water is warm, and/or have a dirty filter. For tests, most of the questions are not provided for studying beforehand/on the study guide. The students are always using foul language, hitting each other, talking inappropriately, bullying each other, or genuinely not paying attention in class. The teachers only worry about their pay and not for the students sake of education. The teachers also do not reach out to parents as much as I'd appreciate. There are many bad teachers. For example, Mrs. Roth. She is unkind towards students and always yelling and touching them. She is also extremely disrespectful in general. Mrs. Fox (I think that is her name) yells a lot at her students and is not very respectful. Mrs. Ruppert does not properly educate her students. Mrs. Gale is most of the time rude. The school lunch is very horrible. When they come home from school on half days and bring a to-go lunch, it is overly disgusting. Even though they think they are doing good with the fruit cups/juice and cranberries, the food they make is why child obesity increases (sorry not sorry!!). The school air conditioning/heating is always to sometimes broken or not working well. There are probably more reasons but that's all I was told by my daughter and her friends during a 45 minute car trip.

From Greaves to McDaniels they all are helpful and caring. They looked out for me when my daughter was attending and kept me in the loop.
