#1 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Senior: Marymount High School is an all girls school in the heart of Westwood Los Angeles. Although one may be deterred by the high tuition, the academics and environment of the school is priceless. The students are confident young women that learn to develop in and out of the classroom. The teachers have an unexplainable enthusiasm and love for their work that inspires all the girls. The school itself is beautiful, in a safe neighborhood, and has a great sports and academic record.

#2 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Senior: Mayfield is a wonderful school! Mayfield not only provides a wide range of athletics and conservatories, but also provides opportunities for service and courses that prepare you for the future. The faculty and staff treat the students and parents with care, as if they are family. Safety is not an issue at Mayfield, for there is a security guard at the gate who takes his/her job seriously and works to help keep the campus safe. Teachers make themselves available for students who need extra help, but there are also peer tutors. The college counselors are always around to lend a helping hand, wether it be teaching you how to properly mail a letter, give you a "pep talk", how to apply for scholarships, and much more! Mayfield provides many resources for help if one seeks them. The sense of community is outstanding and everyone looks out for each other constantly. Mayfield is a place of opportunity.

#3 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Parent: My son just graduated from Loyola. High marks for the school on turning out high-quality young men who care about their friends and communities. The education is rigorous and while not all of my son's teachers would receive an "A," many are outstanding. I felt that the school was behind the times for students with an interest in engineering/technology as the targeted outcome for students seems to be more focused on law, business, finance tracks. Overall, my son enjoyed the experience and feels very prepared for his freshman year at a top college!

Parent: We moved my son from public school to Sage in Eighth grade. I really wish we moved him couple of years before.
The small class sizes, intense curriculum and excellent teachers - all these have helped my son find a home in the school. My son does well academically but needs support with skills like Organization, focus and time management. In Sage he has started focusing well in class and this has helped him immensely with his self confidence. I highly recommend Sage for kids who are curious and love to learn deep.

Parent: Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy is a wonderful all girls school in La Cañada Flintridge, CA. We have two daughters that have attended and one going to start and all three love the school. They have learned, grown and become wonderful young ladies due in big part to this school and its teachers and administration. It is a loving and nurturing environment, not only for the students but for their families as well. The academics are rigorous and they are well prepared for college. The college counseling dept. is amazing and the counselors teach the girls how to get the applications done, with very little parent involvement. The girls make great, life- long friends and show respect and an amazing sisterhood towards eachother. We have nothing but great things to say about FSHA and we are proud and blessed to be a part of the community there on " the hill"!

Parent: SM gave our daughter Samantha so much more than we bargained for - not only rigorous academics, but fostering personal growth spiritually, emotionally, and socially. It is the close personal connections between faculty, staff, and students that set this school apart, and create a caring and supportive community based on Caritas Christi. We are forever grateful to have been part of the SM family!

Works Here: In an all-girls environment, young women are raised to center stage and are celebrated in everything.

The students who graduate are very prepared for college and many of them perform well on standardized tests and attend great colleges and universities.

#7 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Sophomore: I absolutely love Notre Dame Academy! Everyone is so kind and is always with such a positive attitude. Notre Dame Academy has teachers that are absolutely amazing and you are able to receive high quality one-to-one attention. My experience has truly impacted me and shaped me into the young woman I am today and has definitely taught me to always help others and try new things. Although I was a very timid and shy student at first, I was definitely able to get out of my comfort zone and try new things such as sports and new clubs that I never thought I would join. I want to use everything I have been taught to go out there and have the opportunity to make a difference in this world as a young woman and definitely make a difference in someone else’s life.

#8 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Sophomore: Chaminade College Preparatory offers an exceptional variety of sports, clubs, leadership programs, and many other extra-curricular activities, so all students at Chaminade find what they are passionate about! Also, Chaminade is a step up from most other high schools because of its desire to make every student's Chaminade experience wonderful. The equipment used in their drama program is better than some colleges, which does their students a huge favor, once they enter college, as they already know how everything works and how things should look like.

Many opportunities and a very diverse school. The chocolate chip cookies were amazing and only a quarter! I had amazing teachers and a great education. My dad and I both went there and fully enjoyed our education.

Parent: We have sent two boys through St. Francis High School. It is a lovely community, small all boys school. It is a beautiful campus. Great alumni program. Our boy s participated in football, Student Council, Volleyball, Golf and many other clubs. The education is demanding and plenty of homework, however, it prepared our boys for college.

#11 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Sophomore: I have loved my time at IH so far. The diversity is fantastic. The academics are rigorous. The school is accepting of people of all backgrounds despite being a 100-year-old Catholic school.

The new admin is struggling, but that is to be expected. There is a definite unfair bias towards certain groups on campus (usually based on monetary motivations...) but that's just life.

Most of the teachers are great! Some of their teaching methods are questionable, but they all seem to know what they're doing. I have formed wonderful bonds with my teachers. They are incredibly kind people who truly care about their students' success and well being.

The only thing that straight up sucks is the food. It's disgusting and RIDICULOUSLY expensive for the quality it is.

#12 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Alum: JSerra is a solid school with great students and even better teachers. It was so easy to stay after class and chat with the teachers about anything you wanted, and everyone is so friendly there. The only gripe about the school is (in my opinion) the unrealistically strict dress code. If you're a guy, dress code doesn't really effect you all too much like me, but for the girls I knew, they would always complain about skirt length or anything like that. But don't let this deter you AT ALL. JSerra is a highschool that wants you to get into the best college possible- and the counselors really are great. Need help finding what classes to take? Need to talk to someone about something on campus? Want to say hi to someone? The counselors are there! Overall, I'd rate JSerra a 10/10 would go again.

#13 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Alum: NDHS was an extremely great place to spend four years growing up and learning about not only academics but life. It provided me with the utmost best qualities to take to college, preparing me in ways where I stood out from my peers. At Notre Dame, the teachers form bonding relationships with their students and truly care about their successes. Spirit life is incredibly fun and still brings great memories to mind years later. Though religion does require mandatory involvement, Notre Dame doesn't force anyone to be religious. Rather, they welcome and embrace all types of religions. Student life was always active and enjoyable, while also studious and a lot of hard work. Every second at NDHS is worth it-- it's an experience you can only gain from going there.

#14 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Freshman: Focus is on leadership and character. Many of the boys here are already academically minded - what's been lacking in our lives is a structure for community service and leadership skills. Since Servite is also a member of the Trinity League (most competitive sports league in the West), I am part of a well rounded curriculum. As a competitive swimmer, it is important that I get support for my extra-curricular interests and Servite does not disappoint. They just completed the new aquatics center this year - perfect timing! I especially enjoy that I am at an all boys school - no distractions, no drama (like my friends are experiencing in their co-ed high schools). We have all types here, from geeks (the robotics club of course) to jocks to dramatists to musicians, and yet the best part of it all? We still mingle at different points in the day . The administration is serious about character, and we've already seen two expulsions this year due to unacceptable behavior.

#15 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Senior: Rosary is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I went to public school my whole life and Rosary was my first experience with private school. I knew absolutely no one going into freshman year and made friends before school had even started. There were so many opportunities to meet new people and find new interests and hobbies. I never imagined myself being Student Body Spirit Commissioner and leading a religious retreat more than once! There have been so many amazing memories and opportunities I have made at Rosary. Not only did I make new friends that were in the graduating class of '16, '17, '18, and, of course, '19, but I also made many new friends among the faculty and staff. They accomodate each and every student and put in the effort to get to know and chat with everyone at the school. Rosary has shaped me into the woman I am today and I couldn't be more blessed to have gone to such a school.

There are numerous extra curricular opportunities and a wealth of resources for the students at their disposal. I am both an alumni and a parent of a current student. My child has completely bought in to the BMHS culture and he has thrived. I could not be more happy with our decision to keep BMHS as part of our family history. Go Knights!

#17 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Alum: St. Monica Academy is an excellent Catholic grade school, middle school, and high school. I should know, I spent all 12 years there. It was founded by Catholic families who wanted a truly Catholic education for their children, and let me tell you, their standards hold up. Not only does the standard of Faith hold up at this school, the academic standard is quite top notch as well. You WILL come out of this school as an excellent writer, transitioning into the university setting with ease. You will also have a great understanding of the Latin language, which surprisingly, comes in handy especially if you are in the medical field deciphering difficult words which most often stem from Latin! There is so much goodness in this school and I am blessed to call myself an alumnus.

Senior: Mater Dei High School is the best thing that has happened to me! Before coming to Mater Dei, I didn’t have a sense of direction on what I wanted out of my high school experience. I wanted to be a student, an athlete, a student leader, and just get involved in everything. Mater Dei allowed me to do all of that and even allowed me the opportunity to create my own clubs. I have had the opportunity to set myself up to go to remarkable universities and have made so many great connections in my four years here. There is no place that I would have rather gone. Mater Dei is my home and my family.

#20 Best Catholic High Schools in Los Angeles Area
Senior: Crespi Carmelite High School is a fantastic school of opportunities. While seemingly not academically rigorous as other schools, the faculty recognizes the behavioral differences of boys and customizes the curriculum to suit their needs while maintaining an environment of academic excellence. There exists a camaraderie that is not found in any other school. This school allows students to develop into their own character but only if they take the initiative to do so. The athletics are a highlight in the school. However, the school does suffer a slight lack of control and a little disorganization in its general populace. The students are a bit rowdy and they potentially disrupt the environment of learning and brotherhood that Crespi wishes to further establish.Overall, it is a very good school. While I had a few issues with the students, the school has done an incredible job in shaping me into the person I am today.

I made a choice to leave the public school system and attend Damien in hope of being better prepared for college and my future. I knew no one going into Damien, but made some amazing friends. The academics and teachers at Damien are outstanding and teachers gave their whole hearted effort. I had great teachers, counselors, and a great time. So much so that I truly believe that my four years attending Damien were the best of my life. I made great friendships and I would recommend anyone to attend Damien High School.

Parent: We have our two boys at Notre Dame high School ,one is about to graduate and we are so bless to be able to bring them in this school. Teachers are consistent on follow up or updates on how our kids are doing in school esp. when they are slacking off and as working parents that is very helpful for us. The school staff really prepares the students for college since it is a college prep which is a good foundation for them in future and most appealing for us is the catholic faith which the school greatly emphasizes to students. Having our kids in this school make us feel we are there guiding them in their future and molding them to be closer to GOD so they can be better person as they grow. We pray that this school will keep its excellent service to students and their Catholic values.
Greatly appreciate you all Notre Dame Staff!

Parent: My son is a senior and is new to On Track School this year. Simply stated, he loves learning again! He has always been an honors student, but throughout the past two years his love for learning dwindled. On Track has been very rewarding to him and has allowed him time to pursue his love of riding his bike. As a teacher, I am truly impressed with the work he is doing at On Track. The curriculum is interesting and practical, while encouraging him to be reflective and to think critically. It has even spurred family discussions on certain topics! All of the teachers, the administrator and the founder, Andrea Leib are so helpful and answer any questions we have. They also provide opportunities for community service and extra-curricular learning experiences, such as webinars. I highly recommend On Track School for families looking for something more personal and practical for their child or for a child who is pursuing a sport or activity requiring extensive time outside of the classroom.
