    St. Mary's Dominican High School Reviews

    I loved Dominican and miss it every single day! I made my best friends here and we had great experiences together. The teachers wanted us to succeed and it showed through their personality and work ethic. We valued religion and always stressed to listen and respect people's opinions even when they were different from our own. We valued culture and even had a day to celebrate different cultures from around the world with outfits, singing, and dancing. I had great relationships with my teachers and was able to be myself and feel comfortable asking questions. Teachers were available to answer questions after school and were willing to help as much as they could. I believe Dominican is even better than when I left. They have a brand new building that focuses on the important connection between science and religion. I truly believe that Dominican has shaped me into the young woman I am today and I am extremely grateful for having the opportunity to grow and learn there.

    Do not attend Saint Mary’s Dominican High School, but experience Dominican. If you or your child are eager to attend Dominican, they have an outstanding staff and faculty. Also, they have a magnificent academic rating and a variety of clubs to be apart of. In addition, they have an outstanding athletic department. Be apart of something great!
    The school really prepares you for college but you have to be ready to get stressed out. No amount of prepping will prepare you for the work load. If you are not willing to study constantly and stay up late then this is not the school for you. If you are willing to dive into the work, you'll be fine. The GPA grading scale is a 7 point system when most schools have 10 point, so just keep that in mind. Also, if you are a person of color, chances are you will not see any faculty members that look like you. Super conservative. Some teachers are willing to help, others watch you fail gladly. This experience will also vary depending if you take AP/Honors classes. Overall, if you are trying to get your GPA as high as can be without stressing everyday and trying to have a "high school" experience, go to Cabrini.
