I think it's a great school with great academics and athletics! The perfect balance is not easy to fine elsewhere.
5/8/2024
Academically, athletically, and spiritually, the school is succesful. I like the retreats they set up. However, the nature of the students is that they are so wealthy, entitled, and feel like they are better than any public school kid, who they always talk down on. A lot of the students in the honors classes are psycho about getting into a specific college and they have so much pressure from their parents to do well. Overall, I don't think this school is worth the outrageous tuition unless you have the means to make it happen.

I genuinely enjoyed my time at Jserra Catholic Highschool. I loved all my teachers, and upon graduating, I have come to realize the intense courses and course load has overprepared me for college. In my first quarter, I was just short of a 4.0 GPA. I do believe that some of the schools beliefs/rules reguarding dress code are overbearing, but in all: great highschool.

JSerra is a very high-academic experience for high school. Everyone on here complaining most likely couldn’t handle it. Everyone who applies to this school knows this and understands it is a niche experience. So much misinformation in the bad reviews. But yes, the honors/ap courses are really hard....

Love this school. I would recommend this school to those who want academics but also want to have fun too.
8/11/2022
We had high hopes for JSerra and they consistently have let us down. My children have always attended private schools and we have never had such a political slanted experience. No matter what your political leanings are, you should feel welcome at school but not at this school. The amount of homewor...
