As a student who spent four years at the school, I had a fantastic time at this institution. I loved every second of being there

Both of my daughters attended and had a wonderful experience. They are both very different and the school was able to cater to each of them and their different learning styles.

As a coach, the students I work with are so well behaved and take initiative in whatever task you put before them. They are smart and have high goals for achievement both on and off the field, which I believe makes them well-rounded people that will succeed in life! I can't wait to hear back with what these kids are doing in the years to come!

As a parent of a child that attends Goretti, my husband and I are very happy. With a student- teacher ratio of 9-1, the teachers have enough individual time with students to know their strengths and weaknesses. Students are required to do community service. They attend Catholic education classes each day, without being forced to be Catholic. The school is run like a small college. The classes are tough, and challenging to the students academically. There is a good amount of homework, and projects. Midterms and finals are just like those in college, cumulative. I feel my child is getting an excellent education and prep for college. I am thankful for the teachers and staff at Goretti, they have worked with us to help our child succeed!

The school has a dedicated staff and the community takes pride in being a family. There is a strong Catholic Identify to the school but the students, and staff are welcoming to all. My son is very well prepared for college and has learned the value of being socially conscious and active.

I was a worker at this school for a while. I consider myself a roman catholic who is very faithful to the Magisterium of the Church. I was disturbed by what I saw here. There seems to be more worrying about offending Muslim,Atheist, and Agnostic students than trying to develop the faith of the Catholic students. It's a catholic school in name only at this point, unfortunately. There is very little that I see that separates this from the public school other than tuition, the uniforms, and the very generic, watered-down christian education classes. Most students don't care about their faith and many of the teachers don't either. I had wondered if there was a good reason why they did not just remove the catholic affiliation, because it is basically a private school, which is only in a very secondary way "catholic". Unless this school can get things straight and make itself true to its catholic name, it is just another school. Be wary of this school. They seem to look for money more than looking for the spiritual and vocational success of students. The spiritual success in Catholicism, which should be their main purpose has been placed on the back burner. Look elsewhere.
