We transferred to John Paul II a few years ago, and we love it here. The teachers are excellent, families and other kids are very good. My son graduated 8th grade here and was very prepared for all the AP classes in high school. The class sizes are small, but they have all of the enrichment opportunities of a larger school. Academic standards are high, but they work with kids at all levels. I love the diversity also. My kids especially enjoyed being part of things like robotics, Mathletics, STEM, Spanish, band, middle school musical, CYO sports, etc.

JP2 is the perfect place for my kids to grow their love of learning. The teachers are caring and dedicated, and the small classes mean they get lots of individual attention. My children are thriving in this nurturing environment and have made some great friends. We've been part of the JP2 family since 2020, and we feel so lucky to be a part of such a welcoming community!
