This School’s Reviews

1.0 Alum

6/25/2025

Should be more open to all LGBTQIA+ members. This school needs more inclusivity in all aspects, as it is very cliquey.

1.0 Alum

6/22/2025

Xavier does not have many classes to pick from, and all classes tie religion in some way. If you want your kid to participate in sport,s you better give the school enough money.

4.0 Junior

4/2/2025

Xavier is a very academically challenging school while also still being great at sports and fine arts. We are in the 3A category and consistently bring home a state title in different sports. We also have a very strong band and choir program where we consistently receive Division 1 titles and a theater program that has received recognition for its strong performances.

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.
