When my family and I moved to Louisville five years ago, my son was given the option of visiting…read morethe top two Catholic high schools in town, Trinity and St. X. Once he took the tour of Trinity he was sold and told Mom and I there was no reason to visit St. Xavier!!! First time visiting St. X, I had heard that the St. X campus was quite impressive and indeed it is. Although I didn't have an opportunity of touring the entire campus it's easy to see that their infrastructure is massive. Very fortunate that Louisville offers a wide selection of fine schools throughout the city.

They also have a nice menu of food like hamburgers, $2, cheeseburger $3, fries $2, drinks $1 to $2. They even have a Chick-fill-A sandwich for $4. Popcorn $1. Also candy bars, nachos and even ice cream bars. It's a great way to spend a Friday evening

My daughter is in the Louisville Youth Orchestra, and we attended a concert in their auditorium. As…read morea space for watching a musical performance, it was quite nice. It's a big room with great acoustics, so the music sounded great. The seats are comfortable if a little snug when there's a full house. I do have one complaint, though. Their bathrooms and water fountains are hard to find. I eventually did find them, but it was a bit of a journey. But I would gladly come to another performance here. It's a lovely space. I'd just sneak in a water bottle.

I wish more people (aside from family and friends of students) were informed about their performances. These students have such talent. I was blown away by the professionalism, the charisma, and the dedication these kids have towards their passion. The space is also incredible.

It's well taken care of so I think it's awesome that an older building with deep roots in the community has been maintained. This is one of two co-educational Catholic high schools in the Commonwealth. The students and staff are generally helpful and friendly when you attend things here and everyone seems to know each other. It's like being at Cheers, but for families. It's NOT in humanity's best interest that I have children but if I were to be given the responsibility of the care and feeding of an adolescent I'd send them to school here so they had someone decent taking care of them in life.

She has healthy lunch options prepared each day by professional chefs. 64 acres of land, playgrounds and outdoor classrooms to run off that kid-energy... Great sports programs, we've done soccer each year and she continues to improve as a player and learn the value of teamwork. The friendships she's formed at St Francis are invaluable. I'm pleased to be in the company of other families there who hold education in high regard. The best testimonial I can give is that my kid really loves the school. She's excited to go back after summer break and is genuinely bummed out when she has a day off during the school-year. St. Francis makes learning fun for kids and streamlines the process for parents.

We have found it to be a compassionate, inclusive environment where children are treated with respect and educational goals are individualized. As our children have gotten older the academic rigor has increased appropriately and our children have continued to be challenged. We have always believed that the faculty on both campuses is top notch. As we've gotten to know the high school faculty we have been astounded by their outstanding qualifications and passion for the subject matter-truly some of the finest high school faculty anywhere. As our oldest prepares to graduate we feel validated in our commitment to St. Francis School.
