We have 2 kids in the school that started in PreK. The school has a great community, wonderful administrators, and a high achieving academic program that prepares the kids for admission into the top Catholic high schools south Florida has to offer. The small class sizes ensure your kids get the help and attention they need to succeed. Our family highly recommends St Jerome! read more

St Jerome is a hidden gem in south east Ft Lauderdale. My grandson attended SJS. Teachers, students, and administrators are all respectful towards each other and this is apparent by simply walking through the school grounds. Expectations are high for the students; this in turn teaches students respect towards adults and other learners. It's a very special school. read more

The school is still the same aggressive. We opted for registering our child despite the negative reviews. Its been a while however it is exactly the same. Teachers who mistreat kids. Teachers who do not respond to your emails/phone calls in a timely manner. Homework from math that is more like busy work and it is hours and hours of and no feed back to see if we are on the right track. It was the most horrible experience ever and we had really really high hopes. read more

This school has been known for years to be physically aggressive and mistreat children. The amount of lawsuits associated with this school is also impeccable. The last thing this school cares about is the treatment or well being of the children. There are a few good teachers (Wendy Lockard is phenomenal and always will be and a few of the CCD organizers are also great). However, the majority sadly do not care about the children. I attended this school 10+ years ago as a child and I went from 1st-8th grade. I remember having medical issues that the school would not allow me to call home about that ended up being serious. I remember being physically bullied by classmates and just having teachers look on and not take action. When my family attempted to take action through the principal and office, no action was taken and everything was brushed off. I also vividly remember many times seeing small children crying from being denied the restroom or walking around the school all day in their own urine because the school would rather that than cleaning up the child and taking responsibility for denying them the ability to use the restroom. However, when it comes to money, the school is very punctual and sure to constantly be attentive to every penny. Also, many fundraisers and drives are held to raise money that then goes missing quickly after or is spent on unnecessary church renovations. It sickens me to see that the school still operates like this all these years later. A family member of mine sends her child there and he has now already come home with large deep cuts with no explanation. He was denied potty access for hours until he wet himself and was denied a new pair of pants (so remember, every chair he sat on or kid he interacted with was then exposed to urine due to that). Any respectable faculty member that joins this school and is loved usually quits unexpectedly with no explanation. I've seen this happen twice in the past year and many times when I was a child. The way this school operates is simply sickening, unethical, and unsanitary. Do NOT send your children here unless you enjoy paying about $1000/month or more for mistreatment. read more

My oldest kid graduated from this school last year and my other two still go. I love the environment, is family oriented, moral values and the education is exceptional. I can't wait for my youngest to start going to Saint Jerome. I recommend St. Jerome and I have actually recommended this school to my friends. read more

Terrible. It's a mess and the only kids that get acknowledge are those who's parents are either teachers or administrators at the school. Sadly the confident, strong kids do not get recognize even when they have the grades to show for it. Terrible school and administration. Very political. Do not waste your money. There are lots of bad apples attending for free, while I work to pay my kid's school under the mistaken belief that she would be in a safe and Christian environment with strong academic principles. The religion teacher is an old grumpy lady w/no family, kids or husband that takes her anger on the kids. It's not any different than a public school. It's actually worse. A lot of parents feel the same way, but are afraid to express themselves. I feel that if I did not post, it will be a disservice to other parents and their children. read more

I have had two kids graduate St. Jerome and one child still in attendance. All started in PreK. I believe the education is top notch. The school constantly has Pinnacle Award winners and Veritas Scholars. The overall acceptance rate into St Thomas, Cardinal Gibbons and other local Catholic high schools is also very high. The school has a small town / family oriented feel to it that I appreciate. For a private school, it is very down to earth. St. Jerome has a newly built science lab, soccer field, and is working on plans for a covered basketball court. If you are looking for private education in the area, make sure to visit and give the school consideration, your family will be glad you did. read more
