They've restricted many websites from children, some of which are necessary for learning. Their computer website blockers randomly ban the children from even searching things up for no apparent reason. One main website is YouTube, in which some kids need to watch videos for certain classes, yet it's banned for them. It's also all over the place, some kids have very heavy restrictions, while others have close to none. The school computer block policy is very unfair, and I hope they address this issue. read more

St. Joesph's has been a blessing for my daughters education. The staff at the school are amazing at their jobs and care so much about the children and school. The amount of attention that each child gets in class is so much higher than at public school. My child enjoys everyday at school and feels more confident in her classes due to her teachers. The new principal has brought a vision of growth and leadership that has made the school prosper like never before. Her attention to detail and knowing each child, parent, activity, and teacher makes the school vibrant with life. Our child adores her interactions with her everyday. Overall, the school is in great hands with the new leadership and growing in a direction that I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a more focused environment for their children. read more

This is a beautiful school. From the bones of the physical school, to the soul of the school (being the teachers and staff). The teachers truly do care about all of the students, as they should. Our newest principal is INCREDIBLE! She works hard looking for improvements that need to be made and then follows through with a solution. You can tell she wants the best for her staff and all of our students. If you live near the area, and are considering, schedule a tour and see for yourself just how excited the kids are to come to school everyday! read more

We have a son that has been going to St Joseph in Richardson since Kindergarten. We chose the school based off the facilities, staff, faith and the community itself. Community was a big deal for us because I grew up going to Catholic school and that was one of the things I loved about it. We have not been disappointed. There are so many opportunities to get involved in the St Joseph community and get to know not only the staff, but other families as well. The Pastor and Principal run a wonderful school and it's evident that they put a big focus education and faith. St Joseph has done a great job responding to COVID and allow the parents to make a choice between in-person and remote learning. The classrooms are huge and they have done a great job arranging the school to allow for social distancing. I can not say enough good things about the school. read more

I have been immensely happy with the education my daughter has been getting at St. Joseph Catholic School. Mrs. Thompson (new principal 2018) has really turned this school into a close-knit family. The small class sizes provide the teachers a chance to build relationships with all of their students and the parents. My daughter has thrived with the individualized attention she gets, and I know that my youngest will benefit from it when he starts there next year. Not only do my kids love the school, but my wife and I do too. THere are ample opportunities for us to be involved with the school. The PTO and Dads Club are ones that we actively participate in. I don't hesitate to recommend this school to anyone with school age kids. read more

Our new principal (2012-2013) has no leadership skills, and her interactions with parents are fake at best and the kids do not like her either. There are many reasons she was passed over for principal at her previous schools. They seem to know her the best. I hope our school can out last her tenure as principal. The Church Advisory Council that approved her hiring got fooled and they need to fix their mistake. I believe if Father Alfonse was still here that he would correct the problem, but I feel the new priest could care less about the direction the school is moving.
