About St. Katharine Drexel Academy

Katharine Drexel Academy serves approximately 110 students, and covers grades Kindergarten-8th, and has a 11:1 student-teacher ratio. MySchoolScout does not publish a rating for this profile because there is not enough verified data to rate it fairly. Based on limited data: 0% component coverage.
What Parents Should Know

St. Katharine Drexel Academy is private, so it runs independently of the local district and sets its own curriculum. That freedom cuts both ways depending on what you want for your child. If you're considering it, start with the practical questions: tuition, financial aid, and how admissions work.
