My husband and I are relocating to the area and have narrowed down our school options for our 5-year old to 1) Ravenscroft or 2) St. Francis (The Franciscan) school. I would love to hear if anyone has strong positive or negative views about either.

Thanks!

A good friend of mine has two kids at Ravenscroft and she's very happy with the school and everything they offer.

My son is at The Franciscan School, and we like it a lot. The school is good, his teachers have been great, and he is very happy there. We visited Ravenscroft when looking at schools, and it really looked great, from the campus to the classes to the approach used in teaching the students. From what I've heard from folks familiar with both schools, Ravenscroft is more intense.
