    I am an alum and a parent of three sons that are either at Ignatius now or are themselves alums…read more All I can say is that there is no place like it anywhere nearby (perhaps simply anywhere). It is a truly unique and wonderful place. I am saddened and surprised by the reports of bullying I see in one of the posts. I can say that in my four years I NEVER saw any bullying. I ask my sons about it periodically and they tell me the same thing. Honestly, probably a sampling error in both instances. It probably happens from time to time. It is not a perfect place. I can say that if it happens it is not widespread or one of my three sons would have seen it somewhere, some time. I am sad to hear about it and my heart goes out to anyone who has been mistreated or made to feel unwelcome. There is no place for that in any community, of faith, of learning .. of anything. It just has not been a part of my experience at the school. So, what has been my experience? Good and caring faculty and staff genuinely interested in not only educating but inspiring students. The school is focused on the care of the individual person and launching Men for Others into the world. Ignatius is not interested in their students and the community just being ok. Ignatius wants its students and its community to be excellent. The connection to the near West Side is palpable. Students are encouraged - and to a certain extent required - to engage in service in the community. They are expected to invite the 'real world' into their lives and think critically about and pray for it. They are encouraged to respond to the 'real world' constructively and actively. When I attended freshman orientation for my oldest son the principal said *you give us the boy, we will give you the man. " I can say that Ignatius has delivered on that promise, contributing in a huge way to molding my sons into good, Christian men. If you are looking to continue (or to experience for the first time) Catholic education done right, send your son here. You will not be disappointed.

    Knowing what I know now I would have fled this school and attended Cleveland Heights High. Every…read moreday I was depressed here. I just wish I'd understood that plenty of local schools are so much better. Ignatius routinely employs uncertified alumni with little experience. Two teachers and a coach were emotionally and psychologically abusive. I was a year younger than all the other students which doesn't help in this toxic environment. Homophobia and racism are endemic. Zero science during freshman year, zero opportunity to socialize with girls. Ignatius now offers a health science mentoring and internship program, probably because they noticed very few of us smarties were prepared for medical studies. They had to improve their game given the exhorbitant tuition and inferior curriculum compared to good public schools in the area that have four years of science, superior arts programs, healthier culture and don't subject young boys to four years of mandatory religious indoctrination. They actually told us there was zero networking for medical school. It seems like efforts were made to improve, but I would never send my son's here or indeed to any "Catholic" school after my experience. If your parents hold you back a year or two in one of the local "Catholic" grade schools, play football and the administration will shepherd you with better instructors and manipulate your record to improve your GPA.
