If you're looking for athletics, Cardinal Newman is great. Academics on the other hand, no. The teachers are horrible, especially for an expensive private school. Some of them have degrees not even remotely related to what they're teaching. There is also a large amount of favoritism in classes. IMO, this school spends way more then they should on athletics (they literally just let our head football coach leave and now our team is horrible compared to previous years), and way less than they should on academics. The administration isn't helpful whatsoever, and seems to ignore the concerns of the students. If you care about diversity, forget it. Newman doesn't enforce masks or previous social distancing guidelines even though they could easily do so. In terms of academic competitiveness, I would say it's very low. Maybe 1 kid goes to a T10 college each year. There are limited AP Classes, especially those in upper level math/science or computer science. Thanks for reading.
I transferred to Cardinal Newman High School for my Junior year in midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite beginning at my new school on zoom, the transition was seamless. Both the teachers and my peers welcomes me and help me from the very start. I quickly thrived under the higher standard of education which Cardinal Newman and the teachers offered. Despite the more challenging coursework, I was learning more than before and achieving higher grades. I also joined the soccer team where under Coach Corriveau, who was also my religion teacher, I grew both as an athlete and as a person. With his help, committed to play soccer at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in the fall. Transferring to Cardinal Newman was the best decision I have ever made and I am a lot happier with school than ever before.
Newman is great because it has an excellent community. Teachers, Coaches, Counselors, and fellow students all cared about me and contributed to my success. The sports teams are great; you'll make best friends and build character while playing competitively. If you're a Christian, then you'll have an absolutely fabulous experience. If not, you'll still feel welcomed and not forced into anything (except an occasional mass). Everyone there cares about you and almost 100% of the teachers care about their subject and their students. I feel way more ready for college and I think I have grown tremendously as a person. No school is perfect but I would highly recommend Cardinal Newman.
