It has been a good two years so far. I transferred in from an all-boys private school, and girls are definitely a distraction to boys when it comes to learning and school priorities. Mater Dei has good facilities, but the bathrooms could be cleaner. Most teachers at the school are very nice and want their students to succeed.

At Mater Dei I feel like there are so many resources and aspects for student growth around the campus. The teachers and the faculty members never fail to show the students that they are reliable and dependable sources throughout their high school journey and especially when they start the preparation for college.

Mater Dei is a solid school to prep students for college. The block schedule is there to ensure college readiness when the time comes. The academics are also solid and allow the opportunities for students to take rigorous courses while maintaining a limit to ensure capability.
