Academically, this school was pretty good. The classes (at least the ones I took) were rigorous, informative, and prepared me for college. Their college counseling department is also extremely helpful. However, I can feel that the quality of the teachers is declining due to many leaving because of being overworked and underpaid. This school also likes to boast about its STEM department without having the qualifications to back it up. Socially, it is like any other private prep school: wealthy girls who may have racist tendencies. Chances are you’ll be lucky enough to find your people, but that doesn’t erase everyone else. Even though they hired a Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, racism is still in the social framework of the school. Overall, it was a pretty average/above average experience for me personally and I hope they can improve.

ND has already impressed both me and my family ever since coming this year. I came from a school that had limited academic option, and ND had been the opposite! The new STEM building and programs that are being implemented are quite impressive, and it shows how much they want to invest in STEM! They also put an emphasis on the arts. The laptops each student get are also extraordinarily helpful or keeping up to date. Freshmen have the most limited options in courses for their first years, but there are still many different courses you can take in language and math. All other classes have honors options, which you must test into or be recommended for. Coming to ND was the best choice of my life because it is a place where academics are extremely valued but are never put onto a student in a way that harms them. I have already grown so much and I am already dreading graduation!

Notre Dame is a school filled with many eminent educational and athletic opportunities for its students. However, the lack diversity has caused myself and other students to feel uncomfortable. The administration and teacher’s inability to support students who complain about racial ignorance is ridiculous. This school makes no effort to recognize racism or even to appreciate the cultures of its minorities. It instead tries to silence those who complain about it and uplift or just simply look the other way when it comes to those who perpetuate it. As a student that attends the Academy of Notre Dame, I seriously advise you to think twice about letting your child attend here (especially if she is of a minority) because this school reeks of white privilege.
