St. John the Evangelist Catholic School

Top class education. Three-time Blue Ribbon award winning School.

My sister in law shared her horrible experience at this school, but somehow her review was deleted from their Facebook page within 30 minutes. She attended school there from 5th - 7th grade and was bullied the entire time. My wife had screenshots from social media, providing evidence of how all those kids were teasing my sister in law. She presented the evidence to the principal, but the only thing they did was remove her from the school. The principal seemed shocked and embarrassed by the situation, and promised they would handle it to make sure this type of stuff did not continue to happen; but one of the main boys teasing and bullying her was the son of one of the school's benefactors. My sister in law was there on a scholarship and my mother in law had a payment plan on the rest. So of course the solution was to remove her from the school and make it look like my mother in law had decided not to re-enroll her. Towards the last weeks of that school year, as my mother in law was in the office making the monthly payment, the assistant principal spoke to my mom about possibly enrolling my sister in a different school. My mother in law did not want to switch her to a different school on her last year of middle school. She decided that she would pay for her to finish middle school there and that afterwards she would decide if she would switch her to a public high school. When she arrived home from work she noticed that she had received a letter in the mail. Keep in mind, the letter was received on the same day that the assistant principal spoke to my mother in law. Included with the letter was a check returning their non-refundable tuition payments for the following school year. The letter, dated prior to my mother in law talking to the assistant principal, said that they regretted to hear that my mom had decided not to re-enroll my sister. My mother in law had never made such a decision. My sister in law had one more year there and they were expecting that the principal and staff would keep their promise to ensure that the remainder of her time at the school was a more positive experience. Instead they decided to get rid of her. But I guess it makes sense right? How could they expel one of their sources of income? So you decide whether this is the type of school in which you want to enroll your kids? Imagine all the great morals and values that they will learn there! Their motto is Reverance, Respect, and Responsibilty. I fail to see how the way they handled this situation demonstrated or taught those kids respect for others or responsibility and accountability for their actions.

Great church
