    St. Francis High School Reviews

    Saint Francis overall was a great place to go to high school. The facilities were amazing, the teachers were great (mostly), and as a current college student, I feel so prepared to tackle university courses and exams. I was a participant in the theater program at Saint Francis, and (for the most part), I had a great experience. As a non Catholic at a Catholic school, I felt that the religion classes gave me another perspective in which I view the world. I had a wonderful time at Saint Francis, and I believe that my high school education is the main reason why I am thriving at NYU. Thank you Saint Francis!

    I went into St. Francis High School with very high expectations. Everything I heard about the school was positive, from the excellent teachers to the amazing, spirited student body. I was ready to start a new chapter in my life, meeting everyone who I ran into, taking part in the clubs that related to me, receiving a great education, and having the time of my life. Now that I have graduated high school and look back at my time, I always felt like an outsider, being a minority at a predominantly Caucasian school. It was hard to make friends, since many of the kids came from the same middle school. I found myself not learning much in class, due to my struggles with the teachers' teaching methods. Clubs were not welcoming, and I never found myself to love one club. But, who knows who or where I would be without St. Francis, which is why I am still as thankful as can be about the past four years of my life in high school.
    Great place to get involved and make lasting friendships! Beautiful campus, great athletics, and good academics. Really prepares you for not just college, but life.
