One of Northeast Ohio’s most revered private schools, Saint Ignatius High School has been a staple of Ohio City since it opened its doors for students in the neighborhood back in 1886. A recipient of the United States Department of Education’s Blue Ribbon School award, the school is well known for its college preparatory education and athletic programs.
The Saint Ignatius Wildcats football team has earned 11 state championship wins alone, with several alumni teammates going on to play professionally in the NFL.
There is a tuition cost associated with the school, but it does offer financial assistance. The school requires potential students to take an admissions test, which Saint Ignatius provides twice a year in the fall. The test includes English, math and reading.
With such a rich history and a reputable name that carries weight when its graduates apply for college, Saint Ignatius High School is a place of pride for the entire Ohio City neighborhood.

What no one will tell you: you could do better for your son. Let's get this out of the way: yes, many of the brightest white boys in "Greater Cleveland" go to Ignatius. No girls are admitted. Some of those boys go on to professional success. That's not a surpise: if you start with 300 smart boys eac...
