Salesian College Preparatory has been a good experience. I cheered for three years and made friendships that I love. The school has a strong community, and the teachers are supportive. However, they are very strict about the dress code, which can be frustrating. I wish there was more flexibility with the rules. Overall, I have grown a lot here and appreciate the memories I've made.

Salesian has a welcoming environment that draws you in. Everyone is very welcoming and you will always be included. When you come to Salesian you are bound to get an education at the level of a college prep institution.

I’m my experience this school is a “catfish” there’s a lot of issues they sweep under the rug and parents aren’t properly notified. In addition, there are several issue that involve the principle requiring students to sight contracts that obligate them to stand for the pledge of allegiance if they w...

Salesian is very close to my heart, having been a place where much of my family attended and where I met my lifelong friends. Salesian creates an environment for students to grow in multiple aspects. Looking back, I obviously saw much academic growth but I see now much of my social growth was foster...
