2021-2022 was my first year as a high schooler and I would say Elizabeth Seton High school made the transition better than I expected! I first learned about the school through a friend's older sibling. I toured the school for the first time. My first impression of the school was great and very welcoming! A few of the then seniors talked to me about the school itself and I almost instantly loved the woman-empowered environment around the school. The idea of an all-girl school at first did not thrill me but now I can definitely say it was a great decision! The school offers many inclusive clubs and sports. I joined the soccer team before the school year began and met amazing people. Even if soccer isn't your thing, they also offer basketball, swimming, and many other sports. It's not all sports based though! There is also a robotics club, book club, equestrian club, BSU, theater and so much more. Seton does a great job of being inclusive and the diversity in the school is amazing!
I think Elizabeth Seton High School is wonderful, absolutely amazing, and a great preparation school for college! I have no doubt that I'll be anything less than prepared. With all these amazing things, the school is not perfect, and even during this time of all the injustice happening in our country, and the black lives matter movement, Elizabeth Seton has messed up and has been careless in terms of what they post on their social media. Elizabeth Seton has messed when it comes to certain situations with students, and Elizabeth Seton has made me upset, made me question why I'm there and made me cry out in stress and disarray because I felt like it was all too much. Even so, they try. They had mess-ups and made sure to go above and beyond to try and fix their mistakes. Seton's curriculum is incredible, and in everything they do, they leave a mark, and I think that's important, and that's rare. Overall Seton is growing, however, they're growing in excellence and I'm happy to be there!
Overall, Seton is a pretty basic school. Many girls have left here saying this school has definitely prepared them for college, the academics are phenomenal if you truly apply yourself. However, when it comes to the overall culture of the school community and staff...RUN. Many students have expressed a lack of expressed care and availability for staff and guidance counselors. I'd see teachers ask for "proof" and the "severity" of someone being on suicide watch. As a senior, I'm very stressed about college. And I confided in a counselor (not mine because she's never in her office) and she told me to stop whining. Girls are generally nice, but it is really easy to be caught up in a lot of drama. Teachers are RUDE, not all, but some. The food is mediocre and snacks are expensive, there is no reason that a full lunch with a snack and drink is $10 for that quality. As for safety, we are so UNSAFE. We had multiple instances of men with guns have walked onto campus and stealing property.
