Post Covid we were looking for a school that had a more intimate space for the children helping them to develop encouraging relationships. We found that over the course of they 4 years, the school provided an excellent academic environment for my son to thrive in.

In summer of 2023 my parents had just told me about Prep, and how it was a amazing school with tons of opportunities that other schools didn't get to have. They told me how I am going to go there in 6th or 7th grade. In my mind I was convinced that I didn't wanna go and I would miss my friends and my old school. I was actually kind of scared of what it would be like and if I was going to like it. Then on my first day of 6th grade at Prep I had so much fun and later in the year I realized that Prep has a perfect balance of having fun and learning so many cool things. When I would talk to my friends from my old school they were shocked about how many different classes and experiences Prep students get to have. Overall Prep is a amazing school with tons of great opportunities, teachers, and students. I really like Prep and am super excited for everything that I have yet to come in my experience at Prep.

There is no air conditioning whatsoever, they dont even provide the teachers with fans in the 80°+ heat. Some staff curses at students, and belittles them, even teachers complain about the way the school is ran.

St. John's Prep is an amazing academic high school. I enrolled both of my children here, despite listening to the negative talk from others regarding the school, and mind you, none of these individuals had children in this school. I'm so happy I don't listen to others and find out for myself if a sc...

Please read. As a current student of this school i can say save your money towards college or look for better options for high schools. My teachers are uncaring and are not looking to help at all, and then get tests where no one knows how to do them and mostly everyone fails. Asking for help goes ig...
