Alum: The best part of high school is all of my connections and friends I have made, and will have for life. I also enjoyed playing on several sports teams and loved that team atmosphere. The worst part which is really not that bad, was all of the demanding homework, but in the end, this made me a better more organized student and absolutely helped prepare me for college...

Senior: Mount Carmel is such an amazing school. The environment is extremely inclusive and loving. I know that I am truly cared about at the school. I receive a wonderful education, and I feel well prepared for college. Administration makes sure we have a great mix of fun and seriousness. The teachers truly care about our well-being and actively engage the class in learning. This year is a bit different because we cannot have the usual exciting event due to COVID; still, the faculty and student council tries to make school as enjoyable and fun as possible. Overall, I truly love and enjoy receiving my education at Mount Carmel Academy!... Read 275 reviews

Sophomore: St. Mary's Dominican High School is the best school I have attended. Dominican gave me opportunities I could not receive on my own and pushed me to be the best person I could be. DHS has a comforting sisterhood environment that focuses on prayer, study, community, and service. With our fulfillment of truth, we are committed to our motto, veritas!... Read 215 reviews

Senior: I am currently a high school senior at Cabrini. My overall high school experience has been one I will cherish forever because of everything Cabrini has given and taught me. I have grown extremely close to my class of 90 and virtually know almost all of my school's community! I am extremely grateful for the rigorous curriculum Cabrini has provided me to prepare me well for college. I am also in many clubs such as student council, ambassadors, and NHS which have helped me enhance my leadership skills. Cabrini has given me so much and I could not imagine myself going anywhere else. The teachers are always incredibly helpful when in need of extra assistance and they are always fair....

Senior: Archbishop Rummel is a fascinating school filled with wonderful opportunities to express oneself whether it be athletic or not. All of the teachers show a dedication to aid their students no matter the cost. There is also no need for stress of homework or testing as it is all balanced and easily overcome with just a little patience and studying. Overall, my experience at Rummel has boosted my self confidence in multiple ways and granted me a great learning experience.... Read 59 reviews

Senior: PJP is a great place for all. As a graduating senior, I have to say I had no problems regarding this school. The teachers truly care about you and want the best for you. I applaud my teachers today, because as we all know, teenagers are difficult sometimes. The classes can be challenging and unique. There is never a dull moment at PJP! Go Jags!... Read 58 reviews

Senior: I have been with Holycross since 5th grade, through those early years in middle school I believed that this was the best school ever. The school atmosphere was great the teachers really care for you when you are there, they want you to succeed and make it to the next year. The seniors were great at leading the school and getting all of us excited. They give the students many opportunities to get extra help in classes and they also have many options in after school activities so there is something for everyone. The Highschool side lets us be more independent such as being responsible for getting our work done, while they also keep us mindful of college and what we will have to give to make it through as well as material they teach us....

Senior: Personally, I think that First Baptist is an amazing school. I have attended First Baptist since the third grade and the school is capable of creating an almost family-like environment. One is able to form friendships that will last a life-time; this includes the teachers and staff. Everyone is very friendly and the students will be very sad when any loved teacher has to retire. The academics are thoroughly explaining, as the teachers are capable of giving one-on-one assistance to students who need help grasping a topic. Overall, I think this school is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone.... Read 18 reviews

Senior: I am really glad that I am a part of St. Mary's Academy. The school is so community driven. There are so many resources at this school that will help prepare you for college. The teachers and administration are excellent, and the curriculum is too! There are events like college tours and field trips happening at least once a month. I am a part of the student council and we try to have at least one schoolwide activity every month. There are also many after-school clubs you can join. You can also create your own club(s)!...

Middle School Student: One of the most amazing schools I went to. Even though I was a minority race wise, you feel accept no matter what. They also were not too strict. The grading system I didn't like because it was rigorous. Also the education is a little hard but if you work hard it will pay off. The kids their are amazing and nice. I miss it.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: When I attended Lake castle, I felt quite prepared for high school; however, the teachers I had during my time there have since then retired or left, so I believe that things may have changed. Nevertheless, I had a good experience and enjoyed my time there. I learned to work hard and to be respectful. And because the class size were typically small, I developed great friendships and bonds with my fellow classmates... Read 4 reviews

Parent: My son absolutely LOVES Christian Brothers!!! The accelerated academic program is challenging, but the amazing teachers give the boys the tools they need to succeed. I have seen my son grow into a compassionate, responsible, self confident, respectful and honest young gentlemen, in the few years he has attended. Christian Brothers creates a nurturing yet challenging environment and knows exactly how to prepare the boys for high school and beyond!... Read 6 reviews
