I have two boys attending this Catholic Faith-Based High School. I am so glad we as parents decided to attend faith-based high school. Both boys have excelled in academics and I am confident they will be prepared for the rigors of college. I have noticed some turnover on the teacher level, as well as coaching staff, however as a parent the edcuation and faith involvment is the most important to me as a parent.

Notre Dame faculty & staff have done an outstanding job keeping the students learning & engaged during the Distant Learning program.

I am a former student and a current parent. I, like the 8/24/19 parent, came here to address the recent smear campaign. I find it unfortunate that the so-called friends & family of ND are bashing the very school they purport to love. If they want to effect change, they are doing it the wrong way. Some of these parents currently have students attending. If things are so bad, then WHY keep them at the school? My son has received an excellent education, he was challenged, pushed outside of his "box" and learned things about himself that I don't believe he would have at any other school. His mentor was amazing (she retired this year) and he did things I never imagined he'd try. I look forward to seeing his continued success at ND.

I came here specifically to comment on the current situation at the school I find a lot of the recent comments highly misleading. The fact is there were 2 significant security situations last year that were not handled well and communication with parents was awful. There have been questionable decisions made with respect to funds spent. Why build half a football field? Additionally there were severe problems in the basketball program that were unaddressed for many years, despite multiple meetings with the principal, that caused more than a few students to leave the school. I find this campaign of trashing the school for making a change disgraceful. It seems to me the school has been in a bit of a rut and I think, at least so far this year, things are changing for the better

Use to be a school with high integrity and support.Now being run by the "mean girls" club! Unfortunately the SB Diocese has turned a blind eye to what is going on!

Ever since they change leadership at the top the school has gone by the wayside. Was a phenomenal school, now a mere skeleton of what was and could have continued to be.

The last 3 1/2 years have been great after they remove the principal without exclamation and created it and stable environment the school has definitely lost the Carrows him compassion and drive to move forward

We have our two boys at Notre Dame high School ,one is about to graduate and we are so bless to be able to bring them in this school. Teachers are consistent on follow up or updates on how our kids are doing in school esp. when they are slacking off and as working parents that is very helpful for us. The school staff really prepares the students for college since it is a college prep which is a good foundation for them in future and most appealing for us is the catholic faith which the school greatly emphasizes to students. Having our kids in this school make us feel we are there guiding them in their future and molding them to be closer to GOD so they can be better person as they grow. We pray that this school will keep its excellent service to students and their Catholic values. Greatly appreciate you all Notre Dame Staff!

I had two children graduate from Notre Dame High School in Riverside, CA. Through all of their years at the school there was so much support given in both the religious and academic aspects that they were well prepared for college and life. Everyone at the school has always been so kind, caring and puts the needs of the students first. Needless to say both children have graduated college and have happy and successful lives.

I rate this as an A++ school based on the experience from my family and siblings that have gone to this school. I have one more child to go to HS and will be going to ND.

When I enrolled my child into this school the sky was the limit with the promises of a great education in a Catholic based school. We were so excited to have her attend. I am sad to say that every year this school has become more and more money driven. They focus on their image but do not focus on what's important , the kids. Bottom line, the kids run the school. The popular kids get away with being bully's, there is a scary level of drug use. The teachers are so busy trying to be cool or just don't care and the upper management are so busy fundraising that the kids are left to their own devises! My child got absolutely no help with college prep and the school does not communicate with the church so my son missed out on important events because they clashed with church obligations! This is a catholic based college prep school so they say, I would expect for those bases to be cover at least! I am very happy to be done with this school, my son has 2 more years of high school but we will not be wasting them here at ND.

I am a current student at notre dame, quality teachers are few and far between, the athletic program highlights football while it is our weakest sport, and belittles other more advanced sports teams we have, the administration is a sham, the worst part of this school is the slapped on "technology advancements" our buildings are falling apart AC is near non-existent, and we insist on forcing our students into paying 600 dollars on an iPad that is completely wasteful. while there are a few teachers that are stellar it is heavily outweighed by the poor teachings skills of others, if you are strapped for cash dont budget this school by its tuition, allow for massive fees such as "technology fees" (on top of ipads), mandatory fundraiser donations(dont even understand how its a fundraising at that point) and other such fees that will decimate your checkbook. you have been warned
