Parent: My oldest son graduated from SLS 2021 & he continuously states that he feels prepared for college. He attends a Catholic University and he continues to engage in the study habits he learned at SLS. He knows how to delegate his time & workload all because of his experience at SLS. He said he would do it all over again in a heartbeat! As a parent I thought the traditional high school education setting was going to be fitting, but my son saw all that he could benefit from SLS and insisted on going. My two younger sons also saw how much SLS was a benefit for their future & made the choice to attend. I have 1 SLS graduate & 2 son's currently attending SLS (c/o 2023 & 2025) . I love the brotherhood these young men have! The one thing in life people overlook is the aspect of faith building, & SLS will prepare these young men for all of life's challenges. My faith has been changed because of SLS. My prayer is more people can see the importance of putting faith in God first. God is Good!... Read 58 reviews

Senior: The best part of my Xavier education has been the teachers. They genuinely care for their students and put in countless hours to provide us with relevant information. They are the main reason that I have decided to pursue a career in education. Additionally, Xavier prepares students for life beyond high school by incorporating faith into our daily routine. This is incredibly important, as the high school and college years are crucial to self-discovery. The academics at Xavier are challenging because they are college-preparatory, but I have always enjoyed that aspect. If I could improve Xavier, I would make it more manageable to be involved in honors classes, music, languages, and extra-curricular activities. I have always enjoyed being involved in my school activities, but I've found it increasingly challenging over the past few years. I'm so proud of what I've accomplished in my time at Xavier. I credit my high school success to the education and guidance I've received.... Read 167 reviews

Senior: One aspect of St. Mary Catholic High School that I really enjoyed throughout my time here was the personal connections that you are able to have with teachers. The teachers here were always so willing to assist me with anything I needed, particularly my math teacher. She encouraged students to come in to receive help as much as possible, whether that be before school, after school, or during her one off period during the day. She would never turn a student away. Another aspect of St. Mary's that I really liked was the faith aspect. Religion classes are required credits here, and weekly mass is mandatory for all students. I have grown in my faith life throughout my four years at this school and have found others who want to life for Christ as I do.... Read 38 reviews

Sophomore: I have been going to Lourdes since 6th grade and I am now entering sophomore year. My experience at Lourdes has been great. The teachers are willing to help you through anything, and are very kind and understanding. I have never had any experiences with bullying nor have I heard any stories about bullying. Lourdes Academy staff keeps their school a safe place and feels like home to everyone. Everyone loves the music program because whether you are in band or choir, every four years our choir and band class takes a spring break trip to Florida and it is a great experience....

Senior: St. Mary's Springs has been a part of my life since I can remember. I was consistently held accountable for my learning and in result, found great success at the institution. The culture was one that encouraged kids to become involved, whether it be with academics, sports, clubs, volunteering, etc. The teachers genuinely cared about my progress, and with the small teacher to student ratio, I could find the help I needed. With a newly built and renovated school, the facilities have been top notch. They incorporated an engaging environment with safety to make an incredible area to learn. While the food may not be gourmet, there is always an option, no matter your preferences. New administration this year has made communication between the student body amazing. Overall, the school has continually improved themselves for the sake of its students education.... Read 29 reviews

Niche User: My daughter started in prek and graduated from 8th grade at Holy Spirit. The teachers treat kids incredible! My daughter was above the national average every year in reading, math and language tests. She now is able to EASILY take AP high school classes because of the teachers at Holy Spirit school. The middle school teachers treat the teens like young adults ;hold them accountable for homework, tests their actions and service within the community. I think these things are frowned upon by younger parents but it's what will make or break them in ANY high school. Kudos to all their teachers for their extra care, concern and religious knowledge that each staff member MUST be continually trained in.... Read 3 reviews

High School Senior: The catholic education was priceless. The teachers and staff were very concerned about me personally and spiritually. They engaged everyone in class and extra-curricular events to co-mingle everyone from kindergarten to eighth grade. Many long lasting friendships were built as well as the educational level and sports talent were evident when we all mingled with other Catholic students now in high school. The Shepherd of the Hills past graduates truly shine out among the classmates. There is truly no one left behind.... Read 7 reviews
