The sisters (all three) and staff are pretty awesome and really go out of their way to show you that they care. Our daughter is really advanced for her age and they made sure that they constantly challenged her to keep her engaged. In the 1st grade she was reading at a 5th grade level and LoMo played a big part in that. Although we had a rough patch with our son they worked with us to find a solution. We collaborated on what works and what doesn't work to correct his behavior which is rare from facilities like this. Most of them time at other facilities it plays out like this: your kid is a problem, they did X, you need to punish them to correct it, if it continues we will kick you out. Finding a solution wasn't quick or easy but together we corrected the issue while giving each other constructive feedback along the way. That is honestly why they get 5 stars. I am no pushover and can be hard to work with because I hold people accountable while being blunt. We did use another daycare in Lodi before my son was eligible to attend LoMo and the difference was obvious. LoMo is a school, other places in Lodi for this age group are daycare. They also go out of their way to put on special events for holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving whole holding lunches and breakfasts with parents. Overall they treat you like family and really care for your kids as if they were their own. What more could you ask for? Thank you for all that you've done! We will miss you!

I was wondering why my son didn't want to go anymore, it's because the teachers and especially the principle don't make him want to try they are very negative and judgmental.

The school has helped our son grow not only academically, but also as a person, bringing a sense of light and joy into his life that carries over into our home every day. St. Peter provides an excellent balance between strong academic standards and the development of character and values. The foundation of faith is thoughtfully integrated, helping students build a moral compass rooted in kindness, respect, and compassion. Even for families who may not be particularly religious, the emphasis on values and personal growth is incredibly meaningful. The school nurtures children to become happy, loving, and thoughtful individuals who understand what truly matters. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the St. Peter community. It has truly been a blessing for our family, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Long story short, DO NOT bring your kids to the tour if you want to be offered enrollment. I'm…read morewriting this to inform and share my experience I had with St. Peter's administrative staff. I am not a parent at St. Peter's just tried to enroll my kids because our school shut down. I scheduled a tour for a Friday with Terrie Hinders and I brought my two kids with me so they could see the school also. They were very excited to meet new staff and see potential classrooms. As we were touring their future classrooms the girls were checking out all the fun stuff that the classes had to offer including touching items in the classrooms that would be available to them next year. We then scheduled to come back and take the assessment test on Monday. Terrie also informed me that the assessment test is not a make it or break it. There's two different classes for elementary school and they split the classes by gender and intelligence. Staff will also move your child halfway through the school year if they feel they aren't excelling in the class they started in. We came back Monday went through with the assessment test and she said we would know the results tomorrow. Tomorrow came and no call or email. Throughout the week I called and emailed with no answer about the test. It took over a week to get voicemail back informing us that we were not going to be offered enrollment . So of course I want to know why so I called and actually got to talk to her finally after a week. The reason my kids didn't get accepted is because when I went on the tour with them on Friday they touched stuff in the classrooms that wasn't theirs. Items available to students if they were in said classroom. So technically playing with toys in future classrooms they were viewing/touring. They're 5 and 7. She also mentioned touching something on the teachers desk that wasn't theirs while the teacher was in her classroom talking to girls at her desk. So if that wasn't enough, if they decided that Friday why would you waste our time and string us along including coming back on Monday to take an assessment test and waiting over a week for results when you already made a decision. Then telling me if I didn't bring them to the tour this would probably be a different outcome. So just a warning to all future parents of St. Peter's if you're going in to tour the school don't bring your kids. The minute that you walk through the doors they're judging you so tread lightly.

My heart broke when they raised the prices to a quarter.

Cons: Singing "We Are the World" during mass practice but having to de-program yourself from mimicking the way the artists sang each line (it's hard to anti-Lauper yourself), 105 degree recesses on the blacktop, being pulled into the boy's bathroom by Joey Piccardo, and watching Robert Tristan fall and crack his head open during Red Rover.

My oldest…read moregoddaughter completed kindergarten, first, and second grade here and is now thriving in third grade. My youngest goddaughter is currently in kindergarten. The teachers--Mrs. To (Kindergarten), Mrs. Ente (First Grade), Mrs. Reed (Second Grade), and Mrs. Brink (Third Grade)--along with Mrs. Amen and Mrs. Wright, have truly brought out the best in them. My girls have become more vocal, confident in expressing themselves, and comfortable working both independently and in group settings. They have both made many wonderful friends, and it's heartwarming to witness the strong sense of community among the staff and parents. The events hosted by the school are fantastic, and the involvement of parents makes them even more special. I feel like we've found the perfect place for our girls to learn and grow. If you're considering a private school, I highly recommend making Presentation Catholic School your home. It's filled with amazing people, exceptional programs, enriching clubs, and engaging events for everyone. A big shoutout to the amazing ladies behind the scenes--Mrs. Saccomagno and Mrs. Bermudez! Your hard work answering phone calls and managing the office does not go unnoticed. Thank you for keeping the entire school running so smoothly! And of course, a special shoutout to our incredible music teacher, Ms. Alvarez-Muñoz. Your singing has the power to light up an entire room. My girls come home singing joyfully and asking everyone to listen to their songs. Your kindness and care are why they absolutely love music class. Thank you for sharing your passion with all of us!

The teaching here is very personal and unique and seems to grab our sons attention and keep him engaged. There will always be a sub-par teacher here or there, but you can tell the vibe at the school with teachers is a positive one for sure. He also participates in a number of extra activities including sports, which have really grown and been successful. The coaches and athletic director are also very responsive, outgoing, and professional. They know their stuff and we love working with them all the time. Especially now with the virus situation all schools have been dealt with, we are even more happy to be a part of this school. There was a seamless transition and extremely open, honest, and quick to lend a hand and be available all the time. This school was prepared for an on-line distance learning transition and our son has not lost a step or feels left behind. Overall, a GREAT school and we wouldn't trade it for any other. Best kept secret in Stockton area!
