    #1 Best Catholic High Schools in New Haven County

    Junior: The school is pretty good, maybe the best but it's comfortable. The students here are all very smart, kind, and talented overall. But being such a small school, classes (ie women's studies, statistics) tend to be dropped because of under enrollment. But the atmosphere is welcoming. The lot of the teachers are helpful and always make time for their students (when it allows). But there is an large lack of diversity in the school when you come to visit or even look on the web page :/

    #2 Best Catholic High Schools in New Haven County

    Senior: Sacred Heart Academy is an excellent Catholic School. It is a college prep school, it prepares us for college and beyond. The teachers and staff are very nice and helpful towards all of the students. Also, the school is welcoming to everyone of all races and religions. I have attended Sacred Heart all four years of my high school career and I am so grateful to have attended here. The school has strong morals that push all the girls to be the best they can and to be excelsior woman. Many alums come back to the school and say that their freshman year of college was a breeze because they had already learned the skills to study from Sacred Heart. Sacred Heart Academy is a great school to consider!

    #3 Best Catholic High Schools in New Haven County

    Senior: I always New I wanted to attend Notre Dame high school but for financial reasons, I didn’t think it was possible. With the help of ND’s financial aid department and a mentor program known as Shepherd, my dream became a reality and I was not disappointed! ND was everything I had hoped it would be and then some! I have received a top notch education and made lifelong friendships with many other life lessons and memories along the way! I highly recommend NDWH!

    #4 Best Catholic High Schools in New Haven County

    Sophomore: The inviting community at Holy Cross made me feel like I was a part of a family the moment I walked in for Open House. As a current sophomore, I can assure you that the previous statement is still true! There are so many great activities to participate in that get you involved with the community and I have made so many friends because of them. The teachers really care about the students, as well, and it has made all the difference to help me be prepared for my future!

    #5 Best Catholic High Schools in New Haven County

    Parent: The school has a great administration, caring teachers and staff, and wonderful students who care about each other. The school provides an outstanding moral based Catholic education and challenging curriculum with several AP and Honors courses for those needing to be challenged. There are a variety of clubs, community service outreach, sports opportunities, and great coaches who truly are dedicated to the students! There is a spirit at the Heart that is unique and parental and alumni support that is second to none! My daughter is receiving an outstanding education and not only is she receiving everything she needs to be prepared for college, but the philosophy of the school educates the total student...mind, body and soul! I would highly recommend this school to any potential parent and student seeking a well rounded Catholic education!
