We love St. Eds!!! My son graduated a couple years ago and felt very prepared for college. My daughter attends now, and she is doing great and loves it. I feel like the school is a family that cares very much for the students. Both of my children have done well there and are happy they went to this school. I would recommend this school to any student looking for a great HS!

Good overall education with faith based morals and teaching. Smaller school with nice family atmosphere.

I graduated from St. Edward High School in 1975 and I am forever grateful for the way in which the staff and philosophies of education helped me achieve my life goals..both professional and personal! My education at St. Edward gave me the tools for success and gave me my gift of Faith. Thank you to the Dominican sisters and all the staff and students who helped me succeed. I had a most successful career which I credit to my foundation of learning at St Edward High School. THANK YOU and keep up the great job! Matt HurleyClass of '75

Do not waste your money, not a college prep HS at all, there is no kindness, helpfulness at all to ensure this children are getting the proper tools for college. If your on the athletic program you can cheat your way thru- have seen it - there is bullying by kids, teachers , and office workers , they needs classes themselves on how to talk to people . Instead of worrying about a child's grades they are worried if they have a belt on or their shirt is tucked in . Kids have not graduated from there ( finding out a few days before graduation) because teachers and staff are unconcerned they just want your money . I as a parent wouldn't stand teachers not helping my child and called the teacher and told them about it -that's their job there is less than 400 kids total and they are most unconcerned about kids that go there I would have gotten more out of a public school. Teachers swearing at the kids =very inappropriate - ! Just a shame that kids can't get into college because of the inadequate teaching -my child learned Spanish from a tape recorder!!! The teacher that was teaching the class was not a Spanish teacher ! Do not waste your money !
