This school is extremely discriminatory. I went here with some students who were not catholic,…read morewhose parents chose the school for being private and "safe" yet they force everyone to go to all mass events and take theology all 4 years (required to pass). They call themselves a college prep school yet they don't require students to take their so called college prep classes. The only thing they do to make it a harder challenging school is raising the grading scale. A regular low C is a 70%, but here a 70% is in the D range. The teaching of the catholic faith is so prehistoric, it applies to how religion was in the 1900's. They teach that the only purpose of sex is to have children, and if you are not intending to have children, then you don't get married or have sex. There is also NO sex Ed at all, they make you take "health class" but all it's about if them teaching you about how drugs/alcohol is bad and how it ruins your body. No explanation of sex or reproductive systems whatsoever. They literally keep it hush hush and avoid it at all costs. They are super sexist towards women by writing you up for dress code violations if your shoulders or ankles are showing. Our bodies do not hold us back or distract us from learning!!!!! I was written up on a dress down day because I didn't wear my class color, I wore orange instead of blue and the Dean told me kids like me are the reason we don't get many dress down days because we can't follow simple rules. They also force boys to shave their faces and if they don't they will be written up, handed a razor and shaving cream and told to go to the bathroom and shave. The school lacks so many class options compared to public school, limiting students creative outlets. They only allow you to take drivers Ed thru the school if you have a B average or above. You aren't allowed to change anything about your appearance such as hair color, piercings for guys and girls, or tattoos, no form of self expression. They favor parents and students of families who have money and give some to the school. Everything is so archaic at this school and is not worth the money. Going here made me fall out of my religion after seeing how a community of "religious" teachers and staff treated their students with no care or consideration for them as people. The counselors are a joke, they barely cover anything regarding classes or college and just assume you know what you're doing. When I went here they had new counselors every year and each were super lazy and uninterested in doing their jobs. Uniforms are unreasonably priced, tuition is extra compared to public school and is not worth it at all. You barely have freedom here or a normal high school experience.

After admiring my transcript and noting that I spoke three languages, his first question of me was "How do you think your parents will be paying your tuition here?" I replied that since my father had a successful Law Practice and my mother sold Commercial and Industrial Real Estate as well as being a History Professor, I assumed they would be paying with money. I asked to be excused so that I could go out to the waiting room and verify that. The Headmaster flushed a very bright red and said "Don't tell your mother I asked you that question." Hearing this, I was uncomfortable. I excused myself and told my mother the question, and that I had been told not to tell her I was asked that question. Mother picked up her purse, said "We are leaving, girls," We left, and were soon registered in a lovely Catholic Boarding School in Iowa. My tuition was discussed with my mother, not with me. I was also able to continue my language studies.

I had the opportunity to play any sport I wanted that they had. I was pushed to learn classical music from Mr. Price, which is what I am now Majoring in University. I was a part of the first volleyball team win in school history, the creation of Science Olympiad and Jazz Band, and of course got to experience being on a State Championship Baseball team. The facilities have gotten better over the years, from a new building, to smart boards, to sound systems, etc. The arts programs are phenomenal with the choir, band, and theatre. I'd the price didn't easily double since going there, this would be a for sure lock for where I want to send me kids.
