This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

1/29/2025

I had an overall great experience with Cathedral and it is a school i suggest every parent consider. It truly is a one of a kind experience and solidifies itself as a top school for me

4.0 Junior

1/22/2024

The overall teachers are good, at times they can get on people's nerves but every teacher does that, they have many ap classes and some of their sports team are amazing and some aren't, recently there has been added a lot more new clubes like chess, math, reading, and Latin dance. The only real issue would be the students which each have their own issues. The food is ok depends on the day but for the most part if you want something consistent that is good then try the salad. The school quality is ok but they are trying to fix it.

5.0 Alum

7/26/2023

Cathedral is a good school is you participate in the community. Staff is willing to help you and students are pretty nice if you are nice to them. Small tight knit community so everyone knows each other. Lots of opportunities offered like advanced placement classes and internships/job opportunities.
