Like if your cool with just staying in the little social bubble of people who walk the mile then this school is the school for you. Also the education is kinda a joke, like you don't gotta try for shit if you take the regular classes, but it's kinda like that in every American school so take that as you will. So all in all this school doesn't feel like a real highschool, and it's only good for very specific people.

I have a kindergartener who started at Redding School of the Arts this year and I must say, she…read moreabsolutely loves it. I know most kids are pretty excited to start school, but this school is amazing! I hear that it was in fact designed by students, it is eco-conscious​ and the focus is truly on arts and enrichment for these kids, which is so important due to the evolution of the economy heading towards creative fields. But most importantly it's essential to their positive development​ giving them the tools that they need to thrive. They make school fun again and give opportunities to so many children to explore, create and use their imaginations to make an impact in our world. So happy to have this jewel in our community!

My son is in second grade. He started preschool when he was 2 years old at the connected preschool,…read moreearly foundations children's academy. Once he was 4 years old he was able to transfer to St. Joseph's for TK. His teacher, Mrs. Mangas was great. My son was always excited to go to school and always came home singing the cutest songs. He learned SO much in that one year of TK. For kindergarten he was in Mrs. Ramirez's class and it was another wonderful experience. In his kindergarten year I really noticed his social skills developing and he was always talking about the friends he was making. One thing I also noticed is that they did so many hands on projects in Mrs. Ramirez's class. My son did have some behavioral issues while in kindergarten and Mrs. Ramirez was really great about discussing the issues and trying to brainstorm resolutions together after school. This was really helpful because I would do the same things she was doing to help him in class at home, and us being on the same page really helped him. My son is coming to the end of his first grade year and is now in Mrs. Schwartz's class. He loves his teacher and has learned an unbelievable amount of academics this year. They did a really cute play too! They also have an atrium that is sort of like a Montessori classroom set up where the kids get to go explore and learn through hands on activities. My son loves atrium. Another thing that he enjoys is his music class. I really like the smaller community and how involved all of the parents are in their children's success. St. Joseph's has been an amazing blessing to my family and I look forward to having my youngest start when she is old enough for preschool! I have no doubt that my kids are going to have bright futures after attending St. Joseph's!

This school culls less-than-desirable elements from it's student body/parents. If you are a…read moreyummy-mummy, can be a wealthy financial/volunteer donor or if you are a legacy family from the parish, St Josephs school will love you and you will love it. The teachers are wonderful and the education/curriculum is first-rate. If you are a working parent or your child needs any kind of individualized attention from the teacher (think dyslexia or manageable ADHD), the principal will cancel a parent/teacher meeting, reschedule it, and call you at work to come in you ahead of time to his office alone to give you a spiel. You will not be allowed to speak, and no spouse or teacher will be present. The current principal (10/2019) is an educator accustomed to, apparently, submissive behavior from parents and respectful compliance from teachers and students. His own child, he explains, has an IEP. But since private schools do not get funding as public schools do, it's quietly known that he invites parents to leave his school if an IEP is needed for a "nobody student". If you have Ivy League aspirations and a very compliant child, this is a gold-star facility. Otherwise, it will leave you confused and scrambling to find a new school home for your child halfway through the year, or whenever the principal has decided your child isn't worth the teacher's effort. In this case, please seek out the other private religious educational facility in the Redding area, or a Charter school. I'm cutting up my expensive St. Joseph shirts into cleaning rags tonight. My son is not beyond their teaching capabilities even if this isn't the era of nuns with rulers any longer. "Serviam", indeed.

The campus is nice and the staff are wonderful. My biggest issues were due to extremely poor…read moredecisions and communication. Between state and board, board and admin. The state demanded mandatory quarantine at home if anyone had a fever or showed signs of COVID. The board wanted them to take tests and prove it was negative then return regardless. Admin advised staff to follow state policy AND board. The board saw massive attendance issues with staff, irresponsible numbers of staff members were let go base in poor attendance, because they followed state policies. The maintenance staff was worked half to death and undermanned, yet still not paid any overtime. Phys, Sped, and Cafeteria staff received no incentives or special help to facilitate mask, distance, and other state/national policies. The whole thing was a mess. I was unfortunate enough to see this school at it's worst and for that I am being understanding and giving it 2/5 instead of 1/5, but seriously, the board that governs this specific school needs to get involved with the staff more and pay attention before making another heinous mistake in the future.
