Overall I have had a pretty good experience at this school. I know a few others say differently but as long as you follow the rules, respect students and staff, choose the right influences, and work hard in your classes then you shouldn't have any problems during your time at this school. This school has been part of many great memories for me and traditions in my family. The biggest downside of the school for me is that there's no school parking lot so you have to make sure you park in the free spots.

St. Vincent's has supported me along every step of the way through these past 4 years and brought me some of my very best friends who I call sisters.

Since it was an all girls school, I made connections with every single person in the school. The sisterhood will last forever.

St. Vincent's is not only full of tradition and rooted in it's Catholic principles, but also full of faculty, staff and administration that truly care about the students and families. The academics, sports and extracurriculars are top notch and competitive. For safety, there is an on campus officer...

This school does not work with their students and discourages staff when these same students seek support. The best teachers at this school get crushed by the administration and it’s sad to see such a historical school being destroyed. Tradition isn’t everything and this school is being left behind...

Wanna talk about hell on earth! Send your daughter here. The way the administration disregards their students needs is absolutely deplorable. It is so upsetting to see such an upstanding historical establishment fall so far under this new administration.

My daughter is well prepared for college and has had four great years there. She will be attending one of the top universities in the country in the fall. SVA really empowers these woman to lead.
