We have been to Hoover, Briarwood and now John Carroll. It has been by far the best experience even though we are not even catholic.

The best part of John Carroll is the community aspect of it because I have met my best friends here. The faculty and staff are amazing and push you everyday to be better and make the grades and if you struggle they have tutors or teachers that offer help.

Overall the quality of teachers and administrators is not impressive. There is a huge lack in the area of service programs and clubs. Many of the students are children of multigenerational alumni, so it can be very cliquey, and often is responsible for keeping the school from improving, growing and changing. I think at one point John Carroll was a good school, but it is now a shell of what it once was. This is most obvious in the school administration turnover.
