Parent: Our son is smart, but not driven. He needed motivation to push him to achieve. He received excellent counseling, guidance, and academic help from the teachers and staff at St. A. Prep. We believe that, because he was neither a “brilliant” nor a “troubled” student, he would have fallen through the cracks at our local public school. Most of his teachers have been great. Some have been truly exceptional. The counselors and academic staff have been priceless. He loves his school. Bullying at St. A is non exsistant, and all the boys support and look out for one another. It might sound corny, but they truly treat each other as brothers. He is only a sophomore, but I know the next few years will be just as great!... Read 78 reviews

Sophomore: My experience so far at Holy Spirit High School has been amazing. Our school is truly one big family. The academic program here is amazing. The staff are incredibly talented and kind. They always give their 100% effort for us students. The Sports program here is extraordinary. I am only a sophomore and I feel like I am college ready. Our school culture/ spirit is fascinating. Even though we wear school uniforms, we all are recognized as our own person. The staff is not afraid to invest into our imaginations. I love it here and I would never trade these moments I've experienced here for the world.... Read 98 reviews

Niche User: We have 2 girls in SJRS and love it. We believe we are giving our children the best education available in our area and look at the school as an investment in their future. The girls enjoy going to school and learning. They are excited to come home and tell us some interesting fact they learned that day. We love seeing their passion for knowledge embraced and nurtured by the teachers. We have always been able to contact the teachers or staff if we had a question or an issue. Because it is a smaller school then public there is a sense of community throughout. The teachers and staff at the school know who the children are; this provides the children with a sense of security, safety, and comfort. The class sizes may be a bit larger then public schools but every student in the class is there to learn. There are no continued behavioral interruptions during class time. We have never felt our girls we prohibited from learning because of the class size. One of our favorite things about the school is that it reinforces the values and morals we teach at home. It helps to have a positive atmosphere to counteract all the negative images and stories they see in the media.... Read 4 reviews

High School Senior: I had a great experience at Assumption School. If I ever had an issue of any sort, there was always someone willing to help. I enjoyed participating in cheerleading and I loved how involved God was in the school. I would recommend Assumption to any and every elementary and middle school student!!!... Read 6 reviews

Parent: I have two children who have been attending St. Vincent de Paul Regional School (Kindergarten and 3rd grade) since 2017. Enrolling my children in St. Vincent’s has been one of the best decisions I have made. The staff members who work with the children are truly dedicated to student growth, and often go above and beyond to help the children feel successful. They have a nurturing approach to working with the children. The atmosphere at St. Vincent’s is family-based, and one in which all staff take the time to get to know each child and their family, which is one of the benefits to a small school. St. Vincent’s also provides strong academic rigor, along with a faith-based education to ensure that the students are well-rounded. I also love that class sizes are small, and the children get to know each other very well. I am confident that my children will be well prepared for the future having attended St. Vincent de Paul Regional School.... Read 2 reviews
