5.0 Senior

9/20/2023

I have been at Austin Prep since 6th grade. I like that classes aren't too big, I like all the clubs and activities that are available and I like the sports programs. I also like that all the teachers provide any extra help you may need. It has been a great experience so far. I would like to see more flexibility in the uniform policy which is pretty strict.

Not the most accepting school, but you definitely grow a thick skin through it. If you find the right people you will definitely enjoy your time. Hard when you aren't Catholic or Christian.

AP has been a great choice for my child. The administration, teachers, coaches and others are all engaged and always willing to discuss. The students and atmosphere has been wonderful.

For the tuition charged, I expected stronger management, better communication, and a healthier school culture.I found the...

While the school speaks frequently about values and virtues, I have seen little evidence that these ideals are lived out in meaningful ways especially when it comes to supporting students who are struggling, either academically...

When is the insanity going to end? The tuition for 2025-2026 will exceed $35,000!!! About a year ago I wrote saying that AP at $31,500 tuition was ridiculous; save your money for college or grad school. There are many fine public schools in surrounding towns and cities from AP draws its students. I...

We decided to enroll our child in this school after encountering bullying and a lack of the values we prioritize at another Catholic Elementary school. Our experience here has been excellent, with our child's grades improving from a mix of As and Bs to straight As. We are pleased with the quality of...
