St. Teresa's Academy was a great high school. It prepared me for college in so many ways. Many of the teachers there had the student's best interests at heart. The administration was not always the best but the teachers and overall level of education made it worth it.

I love the education I have received, as well as the engagement of the teachers, staff, and the support system offered, such as the guidance counselors. I would like to see the student culture change to be more inclusive by providing more activities or programs to integrate students. The campus is beautiful, and the IT is outstanding.

As a current student at STA (2011), I wanted to address a few comments that I've read about STA on this site that seem inaccurate: 1. Many STA students have attended Ivy League or highly selective schools (Notre Dame, UCLA, Stanford just from the class of 2010). Students who excel academically are n...

It's a good school for KC. It doesn't quite measure up to top tier high schools around the country. The college matriculation is 100% but the list of colleges ranks midlist or lower and includes a lot of community colleges. One student was accepted to Yale - but that is rare. The admin is aggressive...
