Coming from a public school, I can say with confidence that I do not regret my decision to transfer, and I know of several other kids here who have done the in choosing to come here. The main issues in bad reviews for this school are issues I've seen in the review pages of every private school I've ever been to or looked at (e.g., racism, which isn't an issue that affects me as a Hispanic student, or any of the other students here. Isolated incidents do occur, but the average student at Savio is absoloutely not a racist and speaking from experience bullying is not tolerated by the staff here). My main complaint has to do with the retention rate of teachers, since I know of three teachers who have left for a variety of reasons in the 2021-2022 school year, but I figure that's normal for a school that's younger than I am to cycle through staff before getting a solid roster. The staff who have been here for years are great, Dr. Phi and Mrs. Uebersax being two great examples of this.
What a wonderful school! The principal leads with a level of energy and expertise that is contagious throughout the community of students, faculty, and families. It has the perfect mix of arts and stem education and is welcoming to all students, regardless of religious, ethnic, or economic background. The campus is beautiful and it has a manageable student body where kids can find their place and have opportunities to meet new people, however, are not lost in a school of 1000-2000+ kids with varying and often competing needs. Savio boasts a fabulous, college-prep education where tech is utilized to compliment studies-not replace them. Critical thinking is encouraged. We've been extremely happy with the education, support, and overall high school experience Savio has provided our children. Worth the investment!
Don't send your child to this school if you care about their mental health.
As a former student who graduated from Savio, I can say that as an individual I was stripped down to nothing. The school culture feels forced. Teachers monitor every single thing you do. Creativity is stifled. If you are not an AP student, you are not seen as important (especially by the college guidance counselors).
If it wasn't for a few teachers (who no longer work at Savio) and the friends I made, I probably would not be here.
The administration cares more about minuscule rules than the happiness of their students. I can say with confidence that although this school prepared me for college, it did not prepare me for the mental health crisis that I went through. Everyone I knew was unhappy. Diversity of thought was not encouraged nor tolerated.
Overall, I am relieved that my time at this school is done. When I graduated, I was not proud to say I went to Savio. I was just glad it was over.
