Currently I have 3 kids going this school.I feel at ease knowing my kids attend here. That go above and beyond. It's a clean environment with a very professional, organized, and friendly environment. Holy Spirit Prep School has helped with my kids' faith and continued nutritious faith materials for them to grow.

They used to have really good teachers back when they prioritized education over religion. Then, all the amazing teachers were fired or left because they weren't Catholic. Now, there are some great teachers and some truly awful ones. I would like HSP to really look into better Staffing and stop fussing over the girls' skirts.

absolutely terrible. most of the teachers don't know how to teach. students are terrible. they are not welcoming at all. no hands on stuff, only notes. administration is the worst. students are scared to go to them with concerns/questions. had multiple occasions of lying to parents. the overall atmosphere is miserable. you either love the school or hate it.

Our son attended HSP for 3 years, but ultimately we chose to transfer him to another school. The teachers want to support students with learning differences, but the school lacks the expertise. As stated by many others on this site, administrators are oblivious to the bullying and high stress levels...

Our kids have been here for several years. I feel like the faculty has found its groove and the teachers are phenomenal this year. The academics are rigorous and the faith piece is beautiful. We have so many wonderful friends that are parents as well - the community has become like family. The pries...
