I had a great experience here at St. John's. This is hands down the best college prep school in the Houston area. I was a struggling student, and the school offered plenty of support, and I now attend an amazing prestigious college. You should consider this school by any means necessary. Rankings are bogus, but this review is not!
The people, more or less, are incredibly welcoming, warm, and down-to-earth. There isn't a sense of exclusion and there are opportunities for everyone. My main critiques would be a lack of minority representation within the administration, which leads to some dry statements being put out during national issues, such as George Floyd or the rise of racism against AAPI. The admin, after being confronted by the minority groups, did rephrase and apologize. They have also made more effort to be culturally and overall more aware. With the recent Head of School change, the campus seems to be happier and better. There is always a sense of community here.
At St. John's, you are guaranteed a challenging curriculum. The Upper School offers many difficult classes, and course load is a lot but not completely unmanageable, tons of resources. Many teachers are caring and genuinely want to teach, at least the ones I have had. However, mental health issues and diversity are things that the school still struggles to tackle. St. John's seems to be a hotbed of mental health problems, yet the school is not addressing it properly. Stress levels are frequently high, and the administration is sometimes unwilling to react to complaints. Much of student life revolves around academics, and sometimes the environment can put you down, especially if you feel like you aren't doing enough in your high school career. However, I will say that I definitely feel challenged enough and prepared for college. While I do have to work quite hard to keep my grades up, my efforts often pay off. I just wish we could have a bit more breathing time.
