This is one of the most toxic, elitist, hypocritical, pompous, and pretentious schools I ever had the displeasure of attending. If you are not an admin or teacher favorite, you don't matter. If you don't follow the school's religion, get ready for strategic bullying from students, faculty, and teachers alike. They charge an absurd amount for mediocre education at best. I had 2 or 3 classes that were worth attending, the rest are no better than public schools. Teachers can be downright vindictive, cold, and uncaring. Teachers assign homework by the bucket load with no care about other classes, events, projects, or even students' understanding of the material. The guidance counselors there to help students actually are tattle tales and just make student's lives harder. Teachers play favorites among students' social relationships. My teacher's daughter wanted my boyfriend, so despite having the qualifying grades, I didn't get into the honors class that the teacher taught. (I'm a professional writer now, thanks for nothing.)If you are liked in this school, you will have a great time spending more money per year than most colleges charge. if you are not liked, don't fit in, have any type of struggle, I wish you luck. I made it out, but this school deserves no credit for my achievements. Also, note they will continue to email you asking for money even after you unsubscribe. This is a garbage school that is barely covering its rotten core with a thin veneer of caring by doing the bare minimum.

The teachers are always caring and watching out for you, which some see as a bad thing. The courses have a large range, and it is likely that you get into the classes that you want. My one complaint is that they take small matters between you and other students a little more seriously than academic problems. Overall I love going to this school.

Justin Siena has a home-like feel. People include you, and there are so many ways to get involved. While I agree with the fact that 4 years of religion is quite a bit, I'd like to point out that you're attending a Catholic school. I love all the teachers at Justin, and the way they teach. I've been attending Justin 2 years now, and while I've had my share of negative experiences, the school still delivers on education, sports, and social interactions

Just how little posts there are shows how many students are afraid of the consequences. My son tells me he can't trust anyone with information because it spreads like wildfire. I've never seen a school put so much fear in a kids eyes. I'm scared.

I am a current JS student and just want to tell everyone to please consider not going to Justin, the school has gone completely down-hill since I was a freshmen and I cannot stand the way things are being run. Instead of hiring a new dean who has studied education, they hired a theology major as the head of curriculum, the school is religiously intolerant (I am not Catholic) and the students have absolutely no say. It is possible to get as good or even better of an education at another school, especially one that does not require four years of religions class, three to four of which are exclusively Catholic classes. Justin has also raised tuition while not improving anything for students other than small architectural designs that are only for publicity. The school is also planning to tear out the two softball fields and put in a full sized Lowes, which will not be an appropriate environment for students. I loved Justin when I came here as a freshman, but I can no longer condone their actions as a school and administrative body.
