Re: Catholic school with great faith formation?
There is the St. John the Baptist School, San Pablo Ave., in El Cerrito, just beside the St. John Church. Another landmark is the El Cerrito Post Office just across it.. Going north along San Pablo Ave., El Cerrito, it's on your right with the Bank of the WEst as another landmark. The school has a diverse student population and is owned by the Church. I hope the above information will help. Good luck!

HI, We're looking into St. John's for my soon-to-be kindergartener. I tried looking for some info or feedback about the school but there doesn't seem to be any posted. I would really love to hear some feedback....Greatly appreciat it! amxious mom


My daughter is in the Kindergarten class at St. John the Baptist in El Cerrito and we absolutely LOVE it. It is the best decision we have made. The curriculum is impressive, great academics and the kids adore their teachers Mrs. T and Mrs. M, as well as us parents. (Some of us would love to go back to that class!)They are already reading, writing, and having a spell-a-thon. The community of the school is wonderful and very supportive of each other. Awesome principal Mrs. Barber. I know they are already doing interviews and testing, so I would call to try and get the info now if possible. You can email me with any questions you may have.
Thank you, Lynda
