The federal Private School Universe Survey for 2023-24 counts about 206 students and 12 teachers, a student-teacher ratio of about 17 to 1. Its religious affiliation is Catholic, so Catholic religious instruction is part of its program. Its enrollment is smaller than many parish schools in the area, which keeps classes of about 17 students per teacher. It suits a Catholic family in Whittier that wants a kindergarten through eighth grade school with a parish identity.","categories":["private-school"],"ages":{"min":5,"max":14},"grades":{"min":0,"max":8},"school":{"sector":"private","enrollment":206},"traits":{"methods":["religious-instruction"],"faith":"faith-based","ratio":17,"feel":"A small Catholic parish school in Whittier for kindergarten through eighth grade, with about 200 students.","topics":["catholic","middle-school"]}}],"source":{"name":"NCES Private School Universe Survey 2023-24","fetched":"2026-10-09"},"updated":"2026-10-09","checked":null,"closed":null,"sample":false}
