I really loved the community aspect of Shanley. It is very welcoming and there is a distinct familial feel to it. I would love to see more class options offered as that aspect is limited. The worst part about the Shanley experience is the workload can be alot at times. As an institution that commits to academic excellence the environment can not only be competitive but also very stressful.

Shanlye is a great place for a certain kind of person. It provides a very strong faith based education along with teacher that truly care about you. However it lacks diversity, along with funding in certain areas which include the extracurricular activities. Overall it's a great place if you are Catholic and have the money to donate.

Maybe 1 out of 10. Or 0.5 out of 5. I thought I was proud to go there as a teen, but in college I realized how much I had been cheated out of a decent education.

Best school in the area, hands down. I have had kids at every private school in town, and we are happiest with Shanley. The worst school in the area is Park Christian, do not send your kids there.
