Senior: I've absolutely loved my time at Notre Dame Prep. I've been here for seven years, from middle school through high school, and I have always been blessed with academic challenges. All of the teachers are very focused on making their respective subjects enjoyable and informative to us students. I believe that the extracurricular opportunities, such as clubs and athletics, are beyond what I could ask for. Overall, I have loved my seven years at NDPMA, and it will be a bittersweet ending to my student career when I graduate this coming May!... Read 111 reviews

Freshman: I absolutely love Academy of the Sacred Heart! It is a small community and it offers so many opportunities for students to volunteer in the community. We take annual mission trips across the world that exposes us the many people, cultures and traditions. I love the block schedule of classes. It is preparing me for college. The school offers a great way of how technology is integrated into our curriculum. Our teachers care about our education and they ensure that we get the most out of their classes. They make themselves available to all students. I would love for the school to be exposed to a more diverse student population and I believe that the school is striving towards that goal. There are many opportunities that we serve in the community by participating in our bi-weekly service appointments. I have had the opportunity to work in soup kitchens where I am feeding the hungry. Serving m community is a great aspiration for me and I love the opportunity.... Read 64 reviews

Parent: 2022 marked the 9th member of our extended family to graduate from DeLaSalle. Starting in 1956 with my late Father-in-law Frank Miller to myself in 1989 to my son Jacob in 2019 to Noah this year, DeLaSalle has been a foundational strength in our family for 66 years. The investment is invaluable and the experiences are life changing. The brotherhood crosses generations and graduating classes. The Motto "Builders of Boys, Makers of Men" has stood the test of time and will live on for years to come! Thank You to the Brothers particularly, Brother Ken, Brother Pat, Brother Robert and the late Brother Bob for your unwavering support and incredible mentorship to teach the young men at DeLasalle what it truly means to be Lasallian. I would also like to thank the Administration, teachers, coaches, support staff and everyone involved with making DeLaSalle the special place it is.... Read 150 reviews

Parent: We have been so blessed that our kids have been able to go to Oakland Christian School! We have been there for 12 years so have been around awhile. We love the small class sizes, the caring teachers, the challenging curriculum, the many activities offered, and especially the Christ centered focus. We have 3 boys so had to have a school that also offered sports. They offer many different sports and are actually pretty competitive. Our oldest graduated from OCS last year and was very well prepared for college. He was prepared both academically and spiritually. You can get good academics at many different schools, but the Christ centered focus taught at Oakland Christian is tough to beat. We would send them to the same school all over again if we had to start over. It’s a great place!... Read 78 reviews

Senior: Bethany Christian School has a great environment for kids of all ages. It is a K-12 school, with teachers who care about every student. The staff is very friendly and make every effort to get to know their students and be involved in their student's lives. The music program is amazing. Bethany has several programs of music, and has won several awards. Also, graduates who start college are very prepared. The classes at Bethany are hard, but rewarding. I started at Bethany in Kindergarten and am now a Senior in high school. I would highly recommend Bethany to any Christian parent out there.... Read 16 reviews

Senior: Bishop Foley was an experience of a life time! I am about to graduate and I have truly loved and valued my time as a Venture. From Friday night football games, to after school clubs, to dedicated teachers, you are getting a truly unique experience in Bishop Foley Catholic! My favorite part about the Foley family was how close I became with my classmates and teachers over the course of 4 years. I truly believe that I would not get this at any other high school. Now why did I give this 4 stars instead of 5 stars? That's due to the somewhat lack of opportunities that a bigger school could offer instead. For example, I am a senior now and I feel like I ran out of AP classes to take by my senior year, where this would not be a problem at a larger school. There is also a more limited selection on the clubs and sports that you can join.... Read 85 reviews

Senior: I have attended Parkway Christian since I was a Freshman in high school. They made the transition to a new school way easier by having a new student orientation where current students went to it and go to know you. This helped because I went into high school knowing a few kids. I also really enjoy the small class sizes because the teachers can pay closer attention to you and your needs. Also, they keep Christianity at a forefront and tie it into our everyday lives. They offer a variety of honors and AP classes. I am grateful for AP classes because now I am walking into college with credits. The teachers at Parkway truly care for you and would do anything you needed to help. I would describe Parkway Christian as one big family!... Read 62 reviews

Alum: I had a fantastic experience at Northwest! The teachers have high expectations for their students, go out of their way to help them succeed, and are very approachable. The A.P. classes offered are great- the teachers prepare students very well for the A.P. Exams, which helped many of us receive college credit. One of the things I appreciated most was the family atmosphere. I was a transfer student, and everyone was genuinely kind and went out of their way to make me feel accepted and included. The administration staff is awesome-they relate well to and are respected by the students. The music program is phenomenal, especially the concert and chamber choirs. I’m so thankful I received a Christ-centered education that equipped me well for college.... Read 66 reviews

Senior: I loved my experience all four years at Regina. The sisterhood I was able to be apart of was so loving and I have made so many close friends throughout the years. There are so many clubs and sport to participate in and the experience I received from playing Powderpuff was something unreal. It was one of the best experiences I was able to be apart of and would never have had if I didn’t attend Regina. Although it is an all-girls, Catholic school, I wouldn’t trade going here for anything else. Being able to grow with my sisters and grow in the faith is something I could only obtain here. The academics are amazing and I’ve had many AP and honors classes offered. I’ve had a lot of academic help and help for my future. I hope that all girls could be able to attend Regina and have the same experiences I had.... Read 206 reviews

Senior: My experience with Stevenson was pretty great overall. I was only there for half a day as I am also a student at UCMST, but it was still enjoyable regardless. I enjoyed the wide range of classes that we were offered as students and the flexibility I had in scheduling. As an MST student, it is often difficult for us to get all the requirements we need for graduation because of the additional requirements we have at MST, but my counselor was very patient and helped me get out of certain requirements by utilizing my MST credits. I also enjoyed the wide range of clubs our school had to offer; there truly is something for everyone. The one thing I will say is that I found that the school culture is somewhat iffy; we do have lots of spirit events but the majority of students are very apathetic about our school, so it's always the same group of kids who go. All in all though I enjoyed my time at Stevenson and will miss everyone there so much!... Read 476 reviews

Alum: My high school years were some of the best years of my life. The programs and events, teacher involvement and activities were something that carried me into my adult years. I believe the experience prepared me for relationships with family and friends and readied me for work and my professional life. We had high quality and well-structured assortment of programs and activities including art, music, debate, math, business, school store, sports of all kinds, intermural sports, honor society, assemblies, just a formidable list of things to keep students engaged and curious. The teachers were all professional and highly qualified, and looked out for the student's well-being and interaction. The classes were mid-size and well-structured and student participation was always encouraged and welcomed.... Read 314 reviews

Junior: I transferred there this year from Dakota high school and I couldn’t be happier! It was a great way for me to learn how to make friends and get out of my shell. My school provided an amazing environment with the students, teachers and overall! We did have to go online a few times due to covid but I feel like it was easy to manage and go back to in person (which I felt safe doing as well:)). The cafeteria food was amazing! I used to gave my mom guess what was for lunch on certain days because it was so different from my old school.... Read 164 reviews

Parent: We are so happy to be part of the Dresden family. I feel they have some exceptional teachers and staff who go above and beyond! Parent involvement could be better but that is everywhere! We left for a year and came right back because i finally saw the difference people talked about with Utica community schools when we relocated to a different district. Dresden was just a much more family centered inviting school. The academics were a year behind Utica at the new school and I really notice a decline for my student. Dresden has so many clubs and fun extras, things they do and events they hold. I am happy they are now a leader in me school also and we truly are happy to be back and a part of it all...
