I am a sophomore at St. Edward Central Catholic High School. In my short time here, I have been offered so many opportunities. Opportunities to participate in Varsity sports, excel in honors classes and leadership positions as well. The education and kindness that I have received since I have been here has been amazing. Overall A+ for St. Edward Central Catholic High School

Overall I like St. Edward Central Catholic High School because of the environment of people. If you choose the right group of friends and surround yourself with them, it is almost like a family. A lot of the teachers are very nice as well, and they really show their care for not only your studies, but actually for you too.

St. Edward's wasn't a good experience to me at all. It has a judgmental and cliquey atmosphere and lots of favoritism. Some teachers were wonderful and showed they cared in various ways but others could care less about your performance if you weren't a favorite. Because of these factors and various others, I didn't perform to my best ability at all. I'm just happy I am now out of there.
