My son did not want to attend St Pats. He ended up getting really great grades. He knew no one going in and now has lifelong friends. He loved it! St Pats turned him into a fine young man.

It was great to send my son, who wasn't too interested in school, to this wonderful school. He did very well here, they treated him like a man, and he learned so much. He is a better person because of St. Pat's! My dad went here too and spoke about it fondly his whole life.

My son chose to go to this school because he felt it was welcoming and a good fit for him. In just his first year alone I have seen tremendous growth, maturity and responsibility. This school instills good values and work ethic in the students that want to be there and do a good job. The teachers and staff really care about the students and their well being. My son made a great decision in going to St. Pat's.

Good school overall but there has been a lot of teacher turnover lately through retirements. New teachers don't seem to stay long. Current principal is not as engaged as the previous one but the old principal is still there as the chairman and still the heart of the school. Also, would like to see more leadership development similar to Taft HS AVID program.

St. Pats is extremely welcoming, a great environment for young men to thrive, and a top notch educational environment!

I am a Graduate of Saint Patrick High School, Class of 1980, and owe my education and life experience to those that took the time to teach us about our subjects, as well as our Catholic faith! It left such a great impression on me that it was with great pleasure that I learned my son wanted to attend Saint Patrick as well! He graduated in the Class of 2015, and is now a Sophomore at the University of Illinois Champaign Urbana.I can think of no other school I'd rather have attended, as well as my son, than Saint Patrick!

St. Pat's goes above and beyond for their students. What other school do you know that the whole staff goes out in front of the school the first day to greet and shake hands with the incoming freshmen!! Each and every teacher and staff member has been amazing. The classes that they offer are top notch!! I highly recommend that you send your son to this school.

Saint Patrick provides a high-quality education that enables young men to develop to their maximum potential as lifelong learners and assets to society and the Church.

This is our third year at St. Patrick High School and we are very pleased with all the school offers. The curriculum is very innovative, with new programs in entreprenuership and computer science. Additionally, the theater, music and arts programs are great. The school is small enough that the faculty and staff care about each and every kid and work to help them achieve their goals. It's a safe and caring environment that we feel good about sending our sons to every day.

Absolutely a great school! Class of 1998, son of a 1968 graduate, and brother of a 2002 graduate. I felt that I received a very valuable education. One which I still look back upon to this day.

Iam a parent of a freshman attending St.Pats.Since, the very first time I set foot at St.Pats.at their open house ,I've been impressed with the school. I felt immediately this was the school for my son. The teachers are great . They are their to teach and mentor these boys also . These teachers are very dedicated to their students and are highly qualified.They fully understand how boy's learn. Some of them also are involved in sports as coaches.Parent involvement is amazing. These parents love and are dedicated to the school. I love the brotherhood and so does my son. It's a great place to send your son. Your son will grow and develop into a fine educated young man. Every morning coach Lucas greets these boys rain, snow or on very cold days they're he is greeting them and after school as well.The staff is great as well. Your child would get the best education at St.Patrick's!

I was a former student at St.Patrick of African American descent and St.Patrick doesn't teach African Americans to their full potentials many times I ask for higher classes because my current classes were to easy they would turn me away! Overall okay school for sports .
