Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School Reviews

Absolutely love this school. I was a student who took only one honors class my Freshmen year to a Junior who is in high honor roll with multiple advance classes. The teachers are always available: I’ve had times where I would stay after school with my teachers just to get help and that is something you really can’t get anywhere else. Sports here are awesome, I did cross country and we won our league and made it to state :). The best thing about SJND is the community. You have so many kids from so many different schools and ethnic backgrounds that it is really cool to see how we collaborate together with so many different ideas! Definitely worth looking into.

Saint Joseph Notre Dame is a tight-knit community that is diverse and a safe space where all students can learn. I was able to make friends quickly and I got to know my teachers on a different level as I got older. I feel like my education here was a mix of hands on learning, group work, individual work, projects, but also some fun activities! The teachers here want the best success for all their students because this college prep school ensures this style of education. The sports and clubs offered at SJND are a great way to get involved and meet new people.
SJND over the years has gotten progressively better with the introduction of more courses, better teachers, and expanded opportunities to engage students through student life activities. Each department has its own teachers that really stand out amongst the rest, specifically in the science and social studies departments. Although SJND hails itself as a college prep school, there is really no reinforcement of the fact that grades determine everything until late sophomore year when it is already too late. Had this idea been emphasized early on in freshmen year, many students would be better off than they currently are.
