St. Francis DeSales High School Reviews
Rating 4.04 out of 5 138 reviews
I am a parent of St. Francis Desales high school student and a teacher at another public school. I had my doubts about sending my child to DeSales mainly because of the tuition. However, it is definitely worth it! My child flourished at desales. She is a very strong academically and I am happy with to see all rigorous courses they offer. At the same, her several friends who struggled before is flourishing at desales with all courses designed for each of their appropriate level. Majority of students are on a honor roll for all school year not because they are easy, but because they are supported. Small class size, dedicated teachers, very welcoming and friendly atmosphere, with lots and lots of clubs and extracurricular activities provide an excellent environment for students to develop as a whole person. Faith is taken seriously and is well nourished. Very strong alumni supports from many decades ago to recent graduates.
My experiment with St. Francs Desales HighSchool is one to remember. I remember coming into my freshman year all nervous and sacred. The teachers, administration, and seniors helped by welcoming the freshman with open and loving arms. They made me feel more comfortable and confident with my approach. I was introduced to new friends who I have grown close with and trust with my life. The best parts of St. Francis Desales are its academics, they help any and everyone to their fullest extent, very welcoming, and they have many extra curricular activities. The worst parts of Desales are probably just some teachers who don’t teach well but that’s about it. I absolutely love St. Francis DeSales HighSchool and I didn’t regret of making the decision to attend it.
My experience at this school is overall very good. De Sales has always been known for three things: Faith, Family, and Tradition. These core values have always been and will continue to be emphasized. One of my favorite parts about going to De Sales is that every day I walk in, I see familiar kind faces and people who look like me there. Throughout my high school experience, I've been fortunate to cultivate a cocoon filled with the people who mean the most to me. This was all made possible because of the wonderful people who attend De Sales.
