Xavier is an excellent high school that prepares young adults for college. The extracurricular activities available are tremendous and the Catholicity of this school is excellent

The best parts of this school is the connections you make with the teachers. Most of them care about how you are learning here, and if you genuinely show interest they will like you. The worst part is the students, and the house system. The students are just rude most of the time, except for a certain few. The house system is the school trying to get the students to connect, but for most people it's just a waste of time. It's a Walmart version of the Hogwarts houses.

Great experience for my kids. They could express themselves and not be judged or told they cannot say something.

This school doesn’t even deserve one star. Save your money and go to public school for a positive experience and higher quality education.

This is a very expensive school to attend but they think it is reasonable to hand out $40 parking tickets.
