Parent: We moved to Tampa during the summer and enrolled our daughters in the high school about three weeks before school started. We found Admissions, the Guidance counselors and all of the school staff to be super accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The school is amazing; the facilities, the programs, the teachers and administration are all incredible. The college counseling is head and shoulders above other schools. We are so happy to have found this school and this community. Our daughters LOVE going to school every day. This place is a gem!... Read 126 reviews

Sophomore: Jesuit High School has been a life-changing experience for me. I have learned to be a man for others and to embrace the brotherhood developed at the all-boys school. Jesuit has many great benefits alongside the four year diploma, such as the breath-taking campus, amicable staff and faculty, and the numerous extracurricular activities. Jesuit High School is a place where I feel like a part of something greater. Every day that I enter through Loyola Lane and trot toward the campus, I look with awe at the presence of the Jesuit Community. The brotherhood and friendship I share with my peers at Jesuit is nothing but amazing, and I feel truly blessed to be given the opportunity to have my life changed.... Read 125 reviews

Senior: I was a transfer from another school into CCC so I have the unique ability to compare both Catholic schools I was in. I have never felt more like home than when I stepped foot on this campus. I have never encountered a more caring staff all the way from admin to the teachers, even the coaches and training staff. I would highly recommend anyone for this school. The student body is amazing, all the students are close and come out in droves to support each other in their sports, even in after school club activities. I am so blessed to have been a part of this environment!... Read 73 reviews

Senior: St. Petersburg Catholic Highschool offered a familial like atmosphere. All faculty and staff genuinely concerned for the well being of their students, and were encouraged to get to know them personally. Many teachers applied real-world situations to all subjects, allowing us to see the importance in our studies and how they could be relevant to us. As a private, catholic school, SPC made faith, compassion, and understanding an absolute necessity in daily life. Never once did I feel neglected by students or teachers. The school also encouraged all to participate in any kind of outside event whether it was sports, or even honor societies. SPC also was very diverse, and encouraged children of al races to be involved, loved, and represented.... Read 92 reviews

Parent: Cristo Rey wasn't even on our radar as a school selection. Since we attended Catholic school I just assumed Tampa Catholic would be the natural progression; we sat at the Cristo Rey presentation during a HS presentation night just to be polite since we grabbed their freebies :) My kids LOVED the idea of going to work every week! We visited the campus & heard student testimony & were sold. I love the community/family feel, the college prep is aggressive but provides so much more opportunity for exposure to colleges/college life than any other school would! The teachers are steady and committed, they teach multiple grade levels so get to watch your student grow each step of the way & are deeply invested in their success. Cons: I do not feel the school is faith-centered enough, it is an aggressive course load and I wish there was more parental involvement.... Read 22 reviews

Definitely the best all-around choice in the area!... Read 85 reviews
