I would not recommend enrolling your kids here, it is a bully zone and many of the kids are addicted to vapes and nicotine. I had to pull my kids when they came home wondering why so many kids vape. My children who were freshman that attended, say they were bullied and criticized about there weight and height. The teachers didn't bother to stop it and didn't even suspend the kids. I've had a terrible experience with this school.

I am an alumni. My alma mater is the reason I became a physician. Great service opportunities in and outside of the classroom. A commitment to the city instilled in my time her led me to move back to the city of Cleveland. Also the efforts of excellent college counseling pushed me to apply for scholarship funding to pay for my bachelors at a very good out of state Catholic institution. I recommend stignatius to any parent looking to mold a young man.

What no one will tell you: you could do better for your son. Let's get this out of the way: yes, many of the brightest white boys in "Greater Cleveland" go to Ignatius. No girls are admitted. Some of those boys go on to professional success. That's not a surpise: if you start with 300 smart boys each year, at least a few will succeed no matter what happens to them in their high school career. That said, MANY more of those boys than you would expect flunk out or transfer out of college in the first year. Bullying and intolerance is the norm. Check out the only review on yelp for a more thorough analysis. The primary goal of this school is to get each boy enrolled in the most prestigious university possible. Actually identifying a vocation, personal development, or where and what he should study, is not a priority at all. Ignatius routinely hires uncredentialed former students with zero teaching experience, or teachers who have had "problems" at another institution. The "service" is a required class during sophomore year: a required course is not the same as actual volunteer work. There is practically zero volunteer activity that is not organized and required by administration.
