Saint Thomas Aquinas High School Reviews
Rating 4.36 out of 5 182 reviews
Aquinas has been my home for the past four years and I would not trade those years for anything. This school has given me a family that I will be a part of for the rest of my life. It has stellar academics and a very faith-filled community. There are many clubs, groups, and teams to be a part of. Everyone at this school is somehow involved in extracurricular activities. School spirit at STA is always in the air. From the pep assemblies to the football games, every student cheers on the saints. The teachers are some of the kindest, most supportive people I have ever met. I have not encountered a single teacher that I did not like or did not enjoy in their class. Attending Aquinas is a surefire way to have the best high school experience possible. The Saint Thomas Aquinas community cannot be beaten. It's a family. We support each other and love each other. Amor Vincit Omnia!
Aquinas is great if you're "in"- I, unfortunately, wasn't. I enrolled in Aquinas because when I visited they talked about their wonderful tight knit community... to their credit, they didn't lie. The community is so tight knit that about one third of the students are excluded from it altogether! As far as teachers go, there are a few absolutely amazing teachers but enough bad apples to make your life miserable. There are several sports teams at the school who are vastly more successful than the football team, but football gets most of the funding and attention. Diversity of any kind here is hard to find- especially diversity of thought... which is unsurprising considering people with opinions or thoughts that go against the community norm are ridiculed and ostracized. I miss the few great people I met at Aquinas, but most people I met were not very kind to me. If you fit the mold, Aquinas will be amazing, just be aware that it might leave something to be desired if you don't.
Saint Thomas Aquinas is an excellent school! It focuses deeply on the education of their students and on furthering their faith. What I love most about Aquinas is the community; you are always welcomed with a smile and everyone is like family. The school actively supports charities and the homeless around the area, like school supply drives and basic needs drives. Aquinas also takes our canned food drive seriously, raising over 200,000 cans in the past years. We also have the best school spirit and we cheer on our excellent teams with pride. The community at Aquinas is unmatchable, and you can always count on others to make you feel like you belong.
