St. Thomas Aquinas High School Reviews
Rating 3.86 out of 5 317 reviews
As a newcomer to St. Thomas Aquinas I have been overwhelmed by the quality, sincerity and intelligence of the faculty, staff and students. The warmth and welcoming ethos pervades all aspects of the school. The academics are first-rate, The grading system is more rigorous than most public schools (7o out of 100 is the lowest passing grade). Athletics has 26 different teams for boys, girls and coed. Great school spirit and camaraderie. They have a Marching Band! The BEST PART of STA is the Music, Fine Arts and Performing Arts departments. They produce 4 professional plays / musicals every year including 1 Shakespeare play.
Don't overlook this gem of a school with deep, Christian values and formation to act as a counterweight to our crazy, untethered society.

I really enjoy it! There isn't much I would change. The education is very good, the extracurriculars are amazing. Very high quality athletics and arts departments. It's very diverse and a comfortable environment.
St. Thomas Aquinas High School lacks the intellectual rigor I craved, leaving me unchallenged. However, it had bright spots, such as a supportive community, dedicated teachers, and a wide range of extracurricular activities. Despite the academic shortcomings, I developed valuable social skills and found opportunities for personal growth.
