What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 140 students, St Brigid School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
As a private school, St Brigid School operates independently from the local public school district.
