My son went to Holy Trinity School from 5th grade to 8th grade, in hopes that he'll advance to Jesuit High School. I could not speak more highly about how well the teachers prepared him. His reading went from in-grade level to 3 grades above his level. He had very little formal knowledge of religion, and was just OK in math. Holy Trinity not only immersed him in faith formation and math but challenged him to excel. Now that he's in high school, he's getting excellent grades and not struggling to keep up. He says algebra is "easy," which we were so thrilled and relieved to hear! They built up his character, resilience, self-discipline, and strong study habits. We are truly grateful to Holy Trinity -- their staff, curriculum, student-to-teacher ratio -- the total package is THE model for how to position a student for success.

Although we came late in the year this year we are thoroughly impressed with this school.... My son was excited to move from public to private and he was in 4th grade! The administrators and teachers were very detailed and thorough and kept us up to date on his grades, how he was adapting... And they had 100% online option if kids could not make it to class (actual live in the classroom!). They worked with us FT working parent with crazy schedules with ease...Can't wait to start another year here... Sad we didn't do it sooner!!

Our child just finished his first year at HTSM. The quality of the teaching/learning is exponentially better than what we had in the local public school. Our child is being challenged at his ability level. Teachers aren’t afraid to differentiate and they actually teach the whole child. Public schools are scrambling to implement social emotional learning, mindfulness, and social justice. All of those are embedded in the meaningful Catholic schools curriculum. It’s not an extra thing for teachers to teach. It is at the core of the curriculum here. It’s embedded, meaningful, and impactful. We are so grateful we made the switch. Watching our kid gain academic confidence, leadership skills, and embrace the tenets of religion has been very satisfying.

Our children are finishing their first year at Holy Trinity School and all of us couldn’t be happier with our decision to switch school last year. We came from a public charter school that couldn’t provide us (two parents working full-time) the level of support we needed to get through the pandemic. From our initial tour of this school, we have been very impressed with the diocese’s scientific and proactive approach to keeping everyone healthy while maintaining high academic standards and caring environment. Our children quickly adapted to new teachers and friends. They are excelling in all subjects and sharing a lot of amazing stories and ideas with us when they get home.

Holy trinity is an amazing school parish. We moved to the school in the area in the middle of 2019. The teachers the community and the students were more than welcome me to my two young sons. Halfway through their new school experience. Overcooked, the school did not skip a beat and we immediately picked up distance-learning with exceptional job by all the teachers. When fall came to begin the school year for 20/21, Our school at every protocol in place and cared for in person learning full-time. What a great experience it was. We are so excited to share that Holy Trinity school finished safely, on time and in person full-time. The teachers and students are caring and accommodating as well as academically excelling. My boys are finishing 4th and 5th grade happy and healthy and eager to return in 21/22!!!!

2020-2021 was our first school year and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the total experience! Fantastic and super friendly faculty; we felt from day one we were in a safe and welcoming environment. The school did a tremendous job keeping us informed 24/7 without sounding any alarms unnecessarily. Having just moved from the east coast, the curriculum at HTS exceeded our expectations, and our teacher thoughtfully guided our successful transition. Truly grateful for in-school learning virtually the entire year. Can’t wait for fall 2021!

We have been at HTS for five years and have seen the school improve every year. Our students are competitive with any school in the area, the state and even the country, based on the standardized testing scores. We have only one teacher leaving this year to go to another school and that is to teach at a Catholic high school. The other teacher leaving is for a pre-planned retirement. The class sizes are significantly more manageable than the other Catholic schools in the area and HTS offers a wealth of elective and extracurricular activities. The technology is more than adequate - we do not need our children glued to more screens during the day. The school is tremendously supportive of working parents with a fantastic extended day program that does not require reservation or pre-registration. We cannot recommend Holy Trinity School enough.

Holy Trinity School has provided an enriched learning environment for our children while engaging our faith and patriotism. To find a mix of all three in a school today is very hard. While we have lost some students/families most of us understand this to be financial struggles. HTS is raising tuition but now it will be in line with other Catholic schools in the Sacramento area. Our experience as parents is important but not nearly as important as what our children experience. They both love the school, their teachers, leadership/staff and the family interaction at Holy Trinity. They enjoy going to school everyday and this make Holy Trinity special for them! We've read the reviews here and I can probably name names for those who became disenchanted with HTS. My name is Chris Cockrell and my cell is 916-836-6671. Call me or my wife Lina and we would enjoy meeting with you to discuss the value that Holy Trinity School holds for our family!

Holy Trinity School has a rigorous academic and faith filled approach to teaching the whole child. My 3 children attended Holy Trinity School and were well prepared to successfully navigate college preparatory highs schools in Sacramento. The faculty and staff are effective, caring educators.

Used to be a good school but leadership has completely messed up budget, principal quit, several teachers have quit or are about to quit. Test scores are good compared to public schools so ask to see numbers versus other private schools. Ask why there was over a 100 percent increase in tuition next year. Ask why teachers are leaving. Ask why families are leaving. Do your due diligence before committing to spend 5000 dollars a year per kid. Talk to parents that have left the school for another school and ask them if there child was ahead or behind at their new school. Most that I have talked to say they were way behind. Ask to see their technology and especially the computer lab which looks like something in the 1990’s. Ask if they are going to improve their technology. Ask if there are any plans to build athletic fields. Then go tour other private are and public schools in area to see if you see a huge difference. It is a beautiful campus but in my opinion that is all it has to offer anymore. Everyone should make their own decisions just want people to ask certain questions before committing that amount of money.

Was once a good school but management completely messed up budget which caused principal quit and then had been a snowball effect as enrollment has dropped 75 percent. There is an obvious issue and wouldn’t be surprised if school shuts down completely after one more year.

I cannot recommend this school enough. The test scores of the graduating class beats all of the local schools. My kids are well prepared to excel at their next level.

Holy Trinity has been a wonderful school for our 3 daughters. Filled with wonderful faith and family. It is a great school all located on a beautiful hilltop.

Excellent. Faith, family, and fun all in one. The hospitality is legendary and it is my home away from home. A beautiful setting nestled in the hills.

Our family’s experience at this school has been memorable. We were an urgent, last-minute admission some five years ago; we were welcomed with open arms This school had given our son a solid foundation in all subjects, a sense of safety and has allowed him to grow in his faith. I can’t say enough good things about Holy Trinity in El Dorado Hills. Nicolas would not go anywhere else.
