Do NOT send your child to Sacred Heart Academy. It is equivalent to a prison for high schoolers, I cannot BELIEVE the treatment my daughter has gotten over the past few years and that is why I'm warning every parent out there to NOT send their child to this school if they want them to be depressed, mistreated, sexually harassed. No wonder each class every year is getting smaller and smaller. If I could put 0 stars I would.

Sacred Heart Academy is an all-girls catholic college prep school that I go to. when I was applying to this school at the end of 8th grade I wasn't too excited to go here, but during orientation I met a group of girls who showed me the best parts of the school ,now It's my second year here it has one of the best decision I have ever made.Yes, there are some cons like the schoolwork being hard or having to study all night because you have 5 tests the next day but its all worth it.At Sacred Heart Academy you have a lot of freedom and chances with sacerd hearts 150+ clubs there is always something for someone,and also the sport opportunities are amazing.But in the end, this school has given me so many opportunities that most other schools could not.

Even five years after graduation, I still am very proud of my alma mater. Sacred Heart not only prepared me to handle college academia, but also gave me the wisdom and moral compass to navigate myself through the trials and triumphs of life outside of college. I couldn't be more grateful for my expe...
