I have had a great experience so far at Xavier College Prep. The students, staff, and overall community is very welcoming and will make you feel like a family. Special activities, such as the retreats, are a great time. The clubs and sports teams are also a great opportunity to meet new people and develop strong relationships with them.

I transferred here in my sophomore year, and it was a good change. I had some trouble with the administration, and I still do have issues with a specific few admins, but overall I enjoy the school and the classes.

The reason I rate it four stars, however, is due to the social setting. There is a lack in the social aspects because everyone stays without their small group of friends. The school is also not very diverse.

Where do we start? You pay for a supply & materials fee and then are asked to print out entire textbooks at home or buy them because they have no library. The entire school staff has their kids enrolled here. So politics are going on in sports and classrooms. The funny thing is every one of those st...

I allowed my daughter to attend this school because she wanted to be with her friends. She will not be returning for the next semester. For a “Christian” school, there is no compassion, the amount of lying by the administration is disgusting, and there is no equality among the sexes.
