DePaul College Prep is too new of a school to have the established academic quality and expectations that can be found of other schools. While new classes are added every year, I feel as though as a senior, I missed the chance to take classes that are just now being added, which affected my ability to apply to colleges. The teachers can be very hit or miss, and I have had extremely positive experiences and extremely negative experiences.

DePaul is very challenging academically and has many opportunities for extra- curricular involvement. The facilities are modern and inviting, as well. I feel the school culture is a bit too focused on sports and needs to embrace the arts more. Overall, though, it is an excellent school with an emphasis on achievement and service others.

DePaul College Prep is starting to become the top Catholic high school in the city (on the way to overtaking St. Ignatius). The teachers are young and, therefore, still enthusiastic about teaching. The sports programs are top-notch. The facilities are new and modern. And the socio-economic diversity...

My son graduated from DPC. The teachers and counselors were GREAT, thankfully, because the administration was not. One Dean is lovely, and the other missed his calling as a prison warden. They love rules and introduced many new rules while my son was there. E.G., they implemented a new rule that if...
