Best: most of the students are really nice and there are lots of amazing teachers. Math and English teachers have always been especially good. I had tons of opportunities step into leadership roles. Yes, it is easier and therefore marginally less impressive to be in a leadership role at a school like JPII. However, instead of this being a weak opportunity, see it as a step to confidence growth and easy college points. This school definitely gives you an advantage in the college apps. Also, most teachers can write you good recommendation letters. Classes are fun and not too hard if you ACTUALLY do the homework.
Worst: there is an unfortunate reputation among other schools, because the few people who make really bad choices are the few people to interact with public schools. Also, the administration has never been good at knowing when to step in and when to leave. There are lots of really bad stories that others could share. If you stay out of trouble, you will be completely fine!

If you want to give your child(ren) a stellar education while they are nurtured to be their best, most confident selves then I encourage you to seek out this school.
JPII in Lacey, Washington, brings out the best in every child by tapping into their individual strengths, while creating an environment of kindness, responsibility, and leadership. Our family is so grateful for our JPII family.
Our first born daughter is a freshman at this school now after being homeschooled and living overseas for some years. She learns valuable leadership skills while learning at her own pace (no cookie-cutter education there!) and being excellently prepared for college. Her younger siblings cannot wait to start JPII high school as well.
Smaller class sizes, teachers who care. More affordable than other private schools. Go check them out!

An incredible school in the south sound! A faith-filled environment, with happy students, dedicated professional teachers, and caring administrators. Everyone willingly wears multiple hats here simply because they believe in the mission of the school and they believe in the students. This school rally's around every student who needs them and provides uplifting and supportive care. Strong, college preparatory academics, a plethora of clubs and activities, and dedicated athletic coaches that are second to none.
