At McQuaid Jesuit I have been offered a pristine opportunity for growth on the physical, mental/emotional, and academic levels. They have incorporated high quality innovations to our education, while fostering a positive, competitive experience.

My experience with McQuaid was great. I wouldn't say because of the school itself but because of the people and the relationships you make. Majority of the teaches are excellent and are free to help you with any questions you may have a bout 90 percent of the time. The students are just as great as the teachers. The food is excellent compared to other high schools, even a lot of the colleges I have visited did not compare when it came down to the food at McQuaid. The education is difficult to keep up with for some, but it pays off. It teahces you great work ethics as well as a great work attitude.

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.
