My child transferred to AQ from a highly rated suburban district. AQ provided them with an education and social experience that puts that district to shame. It really is a fantastic preparation for a college experience - time management, work load, expectations. This was the best decision we could have made for them. If there is any question in anyone's mind as to wether or not they should send their child to AQ, don't hesitate. It is worth the sacrifice.

we can focus on spending money for sports, and other unneeded things but when it comes to supplies, help, and more they dont care. aquinas has done everyone that has gone there dirty, especially me. my experience at aquinas hasnt been the best due to the teachers and due to not getting help. although there is one teacher and one teacher only that has been a good teacher towards me and a few others. ONE TEACHER!!! aquinas needs to step up there game, seriously. they focus all sports, male sports more than women sports. if you notice, not many people go to the girls games, but the boys everyone goes to. why is that different? everyone should be supporting everyone and aquinas hasnt supported me not once in my life.

10 out of 10. Got me prepared for college , my college friends who went to public school and got 4.0s and glided through high school had to work 3-4 times harder than I did in College in order to get the same grades and keep up with the work. I was used to it and because of that College was not a huge change of pace.

My daughter attended a certain public school and was academically falling apart . There was no guidance or help from faculty at all . The social atmosphere was horrible she had no love for anything . Aquinas has brought her back to being a happy productive student her grades are rising and she has ambition . the faculty and staff have been terrific as she is excelling like we knew she could .

Outstanding experience for both my boys and us as parents! An excellent choice for any student looking for commitment and passion from the staff and fellow students. Tradition, values and hard work that cannot be matched by any other school system and it shows!!

Sub par academics Weak leadership Toxic and negative culture Low state assessment scores Lack of vested teachers Administration who does not support faculty Preach gospel values but they do not follow them
