  • I went to St.Joe's for nine years. And it was fun when we were little but once we got to seventh and eighth grade it was horrible. in 7th grade we took no field trip and in 8th we were supposed to go to washington but got stuck going to baltimore. Some of the teachers have NO idea what they are teaching and shouldn't even be allowed to teach :)
