Senior: I can honestly say I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Scranton Prep, from the clubs and sports to academics, I really feel I’ve gotten a taste for college life. I do wish the pandemic was handled better, as we stayed open despite the increasing number of positive COVID tests throughout the building. Luckily, outbreaks were avoided, but remote learning should’ve been the route the school took. I also wish there was a bit more diversity, as it is a predominantly white school, but nonetheless a decent amount of my classmates are minorities. As far as applying to college goes, the college admissions councilors are very helpful and walked me through every step of the process, easing the stress. Overall I couldn’t have asked for a better high school experience!... Read 138 reviews

Alum: I enjoyed my time at Holy Cross. I forged many friendships that last to this day and I received a great education. It's a relatively small campus. Everything's on one floor with a few modular classrooms. Cheeseburger Wednesday was the best part of lunch every week and i loved singing the alma mater after mass. There were definitely some drawbacks here and there; bullying took place and the Olweus program we'd do roughly once a month really didn't change it one way or another. Teachers treat you like family and go the extra mile if you need help keeping up. If you're looking to send your child to Catholic school specifically, this is the place to go.... Read 136 reviews

Senior: I loved my experience at Holy Redeemer so for because every teacher is so friendly, the school has great school spirit and everyone is like family there. I had an awesome high school career even though half of my experience was taken away due to COVID, Holy Redeemer did an awesome job dealing with the adversity and making our school amazing. the sports teams are friendly, very competitive, and most teams have winning records. I loved Holy Redeemer and I would recommend it to anyone looking to go to a Catholic school in Northeastern Pennsylvania.... Read 76 reviews

Parent: Science and Math programs are excellent. English Language Arts are on track and very creative. The school has a vitality and focus on technology that is in keeping with the times; very forward curriculum. Many after school clubs and activities are available, there is a variety of options behind the usual basketball and cross country. We transferred from another diocesan school to All Saints Academy for these benefits. While the other schools are catching up, All Saints Academy has the technology in place already....

Parent: This gem of a little school is where my list grade student has blossomed. It is wonderful to watch all of the students learn to communicate through public speaking starting in kindergarten. I have watched my 3 nieces go through this school. They learned how to be effective students and were all very prepared for higher learning. They were always years ahead of their public school counterparts.... Read 2 reviews
