St Paul High School

My son chose this school, and after 3 years I have no regrets about the decision. My favorite part of the school is the commitment to academic counseling tailored to each student’s ability and goals. For example, at another school we considered, he was placed into a college prep track based on test scores and there was no flexibility in that placement. At St Paul they were willing to discuss his goals personal strengths and help select with him Honors and AP classes along side of the CP classes.
Secondly, the size of this school allows students to try sports and activities they may never have tried before and excel.
The teachers and administration seem to genuinely care about the success of their students, both academically and personally. The principal is an alumna and obviously cares deeply for the school and every student individually.
I believe the school represents its Catholic roots well, but there are many non-​Catholics enrolled. The tuition is much lower than other comparable schools, which is lovely.
Like any school there are problems. Not every student is a dream, and not every teacher is equally dedicated, and worst of all, there is no air-​conditioning in the classrooms but the good still well outweighs the bad.
