St Mary High School is a great small private school. The teachers know you by name. The student teacher ratio is great. The teachers actually know all their students and look out for them. They have a lot of courses and they prepare you for college.

Very diverse, tight community where everybody looks out for each other. Since it's such a small school, everybody knows each other creating a friendly environment. Teachers and staff are excellent and truly care about students' wellbeing and future. In my personal opinion I believe the lunch is the weakest point of the school as I believe it requires more diverse options in the menu choices.

I transferred to St. Mary's in my junior year and it is an excellent school where teachers are more applied to the needs of the students and they're a multitude of activities to engage in.

This school used to have a great reputation and now that has dwindled. I am so upset because I do not feel like Saint Mary's gave me proper foundations for college; I do not feel prepared at all. The teacher turnover rate is atrocious and advising is even worse. Don't get me wrong there are teachers...
