For what you pay, it was a mediocre education, where the advantage lies is in the alumni network-it's pretty extensive, and they are there for each other, no matter what grad year or what your place was in the class, if you reach out to an alum, they are there to help.

I graduated with the class of 2018 and attended the school from my Freshman to Senior year. The school is very average. Besides the fact that it is all boys and Catholic there is no real difference between McQuaid and every other public school in the area. For the most part the student body are terrible people I and two of my other friends were constantly harassed because of our sexual orientation. And now McQuaid won't stop asking me for money even though I'm only a freshman in College and don't have any. I will never donate a cent to this school or send my children here. I would stay away from the school it'll save you a lot of money. Also the school always acts like they are giving you a sweet financial aid deal before you enroll to entice you into the school. The further along you go the less aid they give you. Until it becomes your senior year where they give you no aid because they just assume you'll pay for it since it's your last year.

McQuaid has been a very good fit for me. It provides a challenge in academics as well as athletics. The teachers are very encouraging. They will go out of their way to make sure that a student is able to succeed.

I had many years of solid Jesuit education. We were very disappointed in our sons' education at McQuaid. The educational standards are on par with the local public schools. We expected much better in the areas of character development and accountability. A lot of bullying and teachers clearly having...

McQuaid Jesuit High School is a wonderful school in terms of staff, students, and teachers. The principal, Fr. James Coughlin, has ruined teacher morale, ignored and berated parents repeatedly, and done nothing to help, only to harm the student body. HE CANNOT LEAVE SOON ENOUGH. The Board has wanted...

This is all a school should be: high academic standards, with teachers and staff who will work very hard with your son to have him achieve those standards (Mrs. Bovenzi alone is worth the tuition); honor and brotherhood--they truly are a band of brothers, men that any parent would be proud of; excep...

McQuaid has excellent teachers, programs and activities. The school provides an atmosphere of education and stresses the importance of learning. Students are taught to think as opposed to learning how to take tests.
