(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is great I used to go their and all the teachers/staff was really nice.
Now I am in 7th grade and I really miss going to St.James. They make sure the students have a great time and will remember their elementry school and all the great teachers. This school is a great place to put your child to learn.They will learn and have a great time at the same time.
