To give it’s due respect, this school does deserve a 4 star rating. They constantly produce outstanding national merit numbers, and send their students to some of the best colleges in the US. However, the school lacks diversity, and more importantly, the culture is toxic. These young men are cocky, to say the least, and many of the schools deeper problems are often overlooked (you can do your own research on that one). The school is great, but not nearly as close as it presents itself to be. The school presents itself as a paradigm of academics, athletics, and culture, when in reality it only does well in academics.
Jesuit is a school that demands excellence out of its students from day one. Because of these high expectations, the work load is something that every student has to adjust to fairly quickly to avoid falling behind. What I most appreciate about attending Jesuit High School is that this school taught me more than just lessons in the classroom. I was able to learn great organizational and time management skills. I also learned how to meet new people everyday since the average class size is about 250. What I would change about Jesuit is the lack of opportunity for students to express themselves at school. A lot of schools have a uniform, this is not what I am referring to. Having to keep hair at a certain length is something that causes a feeling of control in the student body that feels unusual and does not prepare students for the real world.
Personally, I had a fun time at Jesuit, but others may not share the same feelings. I think Jesuit is a good private school that will prepare you for college. They teach you how to write a paper and guide you along your way. There are a bunch of clubs that exist but some of them are abandoned depending on the fascination of the current students. Some teachers are good, but due to a lot of dumb things Jesuit has fired multiple good faculty members (god bless your soul Father Shaughnessy and Doc L). Academically, this school is a great institution to teach and open the door to many possibilities. Otherwise, it's alright.
