Senior: I’m currently a Senior here at Christian Brothers High School and I got to tell you, I’m absolutely loving it. I love how CB has a different variety of programs, classes, clubs, and sports to choose from. Ever since I joined, I have received nothing but kindness from both faculty and students. The teachers do actually care about their students, and help them on their academic journey. The atmosphere here is just so welcoming. There are so many opportunities here at CB, and it really does prepare you for college. I recommend you go here for high school!... Read 266 reviews

Senior: The best parts about Jesuit High School is the "brotherhood" that they try to create for the students. They do a good job with this by giving us the opportunity to bond with one another on religious retreats. These retreats are some of the best experiences of my life. The teachers are second to none being the best teachers that I have ever had. This makes the overall education incredible. The sports and their facilities at Jesuit are also amazing, especially the baseball facilities. Although there is this good side of the school, there is the bad side. The head administration is some of the worst I have ever had to deal with due to their strict rules that they always abide by even when it is hurting absolutely no one. They also do not listen to us most, if not all of the time. Whenever we try to describe a problem that we have, they always brush us off and basically tell us that we are wrong and they are right. Although there is this problem, I am still grateful to attend Jesuit.... Read 86 reviews

Alum: My experience at St. Francis High School was no less than great. The community is very welcoming and it's easy to make friends. Most of the teachers are extremely understanding, patient, kind, and explain they explain concepts well. But my favorite part of this school is obviously the food! I always felt comfortable and good, waking up and going to this school every day. I couldn't think of any changes I'd like to see made to this school, since it has already reached every expectation in my view.... Read 310 reviews

Parent: St. John Vianney is a wonderful school. I’ve been so impressed by the dedication of the teachers and leadership. My daughter started St. John Vianney this year. I couldn’t have made a better decision on her school placement! She has learned so much in just a few months and has been provided with a safe and nurturing setting! I am looking forward to seeing my children grow and learn in a positive and structured environment. When we joined the school , we felt immediately welcomed. St. John Vianney has plenty of opportunities for service projects, sports and fun community events! It's a perfect fit for our family!... Read 11 reviews

Parent: St. Francis has been amazing for our family! Our son who is now in 3rd grade matriculated at kindergarten. It was an easy transition and has loved the school ever since. The teachers and administrators are amazing! The kids are very close and supportive of each other from TK to 8th grade. It is a very positive environment. Even though most commute to the school from different areas we still feel very connected. It is a community of learning, care, service and support. We started our daughter in TK this year. I was nervous with her being only 4 years old. She adjusted after just one day and loves her classmates. The school is academically challenging but does not overload the kids with unnecessary work. The many events and activities provide great socializing opportunities with other families. The afterschool care is essential for us. The kids have so much fun. Neither one of my children ever wants to leave early!... Read 12 reviews

High School Senior: OLA is a relatively good school. Many teachers are kind and caring, but some are not. It prepares decently well for high school, but I wish it prepared students better in terms of math and gave more options for advancing farther in mathematics going into freshman year in high school. The school has many fun events that everyone attends.... Read 2 reviews

Parent: We have had a great experience with Holy Spirit. The teachers, the administration, the community at Holy Spirit is wonderful. The professionalism and communication between the administration and teachers with parents has been fantastic, and the campus and classrooms are very well maintained and have active upgrades happening on the campus. The school has a great balance of academics and outdoor time, and different on-campus extracurricular activities for the kids to be involved in. Many of the teachers have been here for decades and they are phenomenal teachers who deeply care about the development of each individual student. Would highly recommend!... Read 1 review

My daughters have experienced the opportunity to challenge themselves, participate in giving to the less fortunate by providing food and essential items, as well as maintaining a spiritual life through liturgy and prayer. School sports are available and leadership is encouraged.... Read 4 reviews

St. Joseph’s Catholic School offers a safe nurturing environment where parents are encouraged to participate in the education of their child(ren). There is an array of after school activities and community service projects that enable the students to grow in awareness of the world around them and how they can truly make an impact!...
