Junior: The Summit Country Day School is a private catholic school in Cincinnati, Ohio. It functions with five primary pillars: spiritual, academic, athletic, artistic, and and social. It also has a prevalent character program in which each grade is assigned multiple character traits which they are encouraged to embody by faculty and activities. I started coming here in 7th grade due to the wonderful experience I had on my shadow day. The Summit has excellent resources for both general education and preparing you for life beyond the classroom. The teachers are dedicated to providing the best education possible, and we have facilities such as a makers space and a sports complex. All of the teachers are both highly qualified and passionate about their jobs. We also have things like an anatomy table and new computers for student use. We also have incredible college counseling, which has made me fee extremely prepared for college life and the application process that comes junior and senior year.... Read 129 reviews

The teachers were knowledgeable and approachable, while the diverse student body created an inclusive environment where students could learn from each other's perspectives. Overall, Walnut Hills provides a transformative high school experience that prepares students for college and beyond.

Senior: Saint Xavier has a very driven environment that brings the best out of everyone there, whether in academics, sports, fine arts, community service, or other extracurricular activities. They have done a great job of building the necessary support systems and resources for students in need for financial aid and academic support and tutoring. Next, with the various different classes that students can take best suited to their abilities, everyone is adequately challenged to help foster growth within all the young men at the school. While Saint Xavier encourages excellence in all areas of life, it is okay to need help because of the welcoming and understanding environment that has been developed. Overall, it is a great school to foster growth and bring the best out of young men who are fortunate enough to go there.... Read 191 reviews

Parent: My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with Saint Ursula Academy. We have 4 daughters. Our first just graduated from SUA and is going on to an elite university. Not only is she more than prepared (academically, emotionally and socially) she is a confident citizen of the world and already making the world a better place! Two of our other daughters are current students with the 4th chomping at the bit to enter in two years. My daughters' local community and global awareness has grown exponentially since attending SUA. The SUA community is a wonderfully supportive environment. I love that our girls meet classmates from all over the tri-state area! Go Bulldogs!... Read 192 reviews

Middle School Student: It’s not just a school it’s a supportive community! We are new to school and so glad for the opportunity. The faculty are all advocates for my child. When there are areas where my child needs help, teachers are always available to offer office hours and tutorial opportunities. The school offers parents multiple tools to help stay connected and informed. Teachers proactively reach out to parents to give positive feedback. The curriculum and assignments are structured to build on my child’s creativity. Promoting both balance and challenge but avoiding burnout. I am so thankful for our supportive Covington Latin Family!... Read 229 reviews

Parent: Moeller High School has been a perfect fit for our family. We are grateful that our sons are experiencing such a well-balanced high school experience. They are challenged by high level academic classes, participate in sports they are passionate about and have time to build relationships with other students. The House System has really helped them flourish as a part of a community, bringing students of different grade levels together to mentor each other and create bonds with individuals they may not have otherwise gotten to experience. Teachers are thoughtful, approachable and understand what it takes to teach young men. It's not only academics they teach but also life lessons to help these men beyond high school. Moeller has something for everyone - clubs, sports, service, academics, arts, leadership. Moeller is the perfect size - not too big and not too small for this family. And the brotherhood at Moeller is an amazing! We couldn't have picked a better high school for our sons.... Read 142 reviews

Junior: After transferring from a public school during my freshman year, I am absolutely in love with Notre Dame Academy. The academics are top tier, where we are provided with so much support from teachers and administration, who genuinely want to see students succeed. I whole heartedly believe that I could not be more well prepared for college as a junior! The atmosphere at NDA is great and provides all students the chance to not only succeed, but excel. Students are given the opportunity everyday to not only find themselves, but also enhance their relationship with God. NDA makes community service and helping those around us a priority through the junior service program and many fundraisers to benefit those from all walks of life, from all around the globe. In addition to this, the benefits of a single-gender, all girls school simply cannot be matched. In conclusion, NDA is an extraordinary school, that provides students with the utmost support which is proven through test scores.... Read 248 reviews

Senior: Even though I go to school every day, it almost doesn’t feel like school at CovCath. It’s always exciting and fun. The halls are usually full of energy whether it’s for a big game coming up or just having fun. Classes usually aren’t boring, most teachers strive to make what you’re learning somewhat fun and engaging because they know how boring school can sometimes get. Overall it’s a great atmosphere and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!... Read 62 reviews

Senior: I had an amazing experience at Elder High School. I not only made memories and friends for life, I also received and excellent education thought will undoubtedly prepare m for my future. My teachers gave me individualized instruction when needed and I knew they were always there for me whenever I had questions or needed help. Elder High School has prepared me not only for college, but also the world beyond. I have learned so many life skills that extend far beyond the classroom. Elder High School has provided me with opportunities to volunteer and perform outreach within my community. My education focused not only on what was in a textbook, but also on what was happening outside the walls of my school building. I will forever be thankful for my time spent as well as my education received during my time at Elder. I will never forget my teachers or staff and I know if I ever need anything, they will always be willing to help. Altiora, strive for the higher things in life.... Read 94 reviews

Sophomore: I’ve enjoyed my overall experience at MND so far but it has its flaws. It’s good for students who want to explore their interests. As far as I’m aware, MND provides some great programs for sports, arts, performing arts, and more. Classes are also pretty good! I take almost entirely honors classes, and I think the teachers effectively teach for the most part and genuinely care about their students. The food is delicious, uniforms are comfortable, resources are useful, it does most things pretty well. But I think one of MND’s weakest points is it’s administration. They aren’t…terrible but they can sometimes be very passive aggressive and can handle situations poorly. (ex/homophobia, racism, etc.) Not the worst but many students, including myself, have been left disappointed more than once by them. Some student can also be pretty judgmental and ignorant, but the student body is fairly diverse, so there’s always a fair chance of meeting a group of great friends here!... Read 187 reviews

Senior: I love Seton High school – from the teachers to the students to the challenging curriculum. Seton integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. The administration is open minded and thinks outside the box to make Seton a successful educational experience for the students. Seton is committed to the whole child. They teach value lessons, communication and leadership skills. There isn't much I would change about Seton academically. For sports, I would love to make a girls sports complex like our brotherhood boy school has. As of now, we share Elder's fields for sports.... Read 120 reviews

Senior: What I really like about this school is how it gives students a chance to be able to be surrounded by people with similar interests and goals as them. The academic education system is very good, as well as the arts education system. The students are all very supportive and accepting of each other and overall, the environment is very good. Something I think this school could improve on is the organization. I think it would just be even better if we were more organized. It's hard to keep track of everything going on because of all the different majors, but a planned out organization system could really help with that.... Read 152 reviews

Alum: Mercy McAuley was my home for two wonderful years. I originally went to McAuley, but after my sophomore year they announced the new school. During the first two years, they had a lot of problems to work out. However, as a school community we came together and fixed the issues that required our attention. I wouldn't change my experience for the world. My teachers all truly cared about me and I met some amazing friends along the way. Overall, Mercy McAuley offers interesting classes you won't be able to find anywhere else as well as extra-curriculars to fit anyone's interests. I was personally involved in the Women Lead program which is the reason I chose to be a nurse. I was also involved in Vocal Ensemble and the theatre department, both which gave me once in a lifetime experiences and memories I will cherish forever - and I know it will for you too!...

Alum: The best part of my experience at Oak Hills is that there was an opportunity for everyone to feel included due to the abundance of clubs and extracurricular activities. However, I didn’t like the judgement and bullying many students would face because they were a part of a club, more specifically the activist clubs. I wish the school would do better in educating their students and even their staff on how to be more inclusive and accepting to all students.... Read 387 reviews

If it wasn’t for our special ed teacher, and the administration working for me, I would not have had the positive experience I had.

Alum: Clark Montessori is one of few Montessori middle and high schools .It goes from 7-12th grade. I loved the school because of the sense of community that the students grow to overt heir years there. I loved the small class sizes, it allowed more help from teachers and improved my academics. I participated in three sports, the teams are not that large because of the number of students there but they do okay. The school preps students for college and practices for college admission tests. Some experiments that I left Clark with include a 8th grade trip to Andros island Bahamas and intercessions. Intercession are in fall and spring where you have experiences outside the classroom. Mandatory fall intercessions include career planning, college tours, and ,lifeskill. some choices for fall intercession include rockets and rollercoasters , farm school, Washington D.C, Underground railroad, Greece trip and more. I enjoyed my time at Clark Montessori and highly recommend it.... Read 108 reviews
