Best was the people I met. Worst was the amount of time I was sitting around doing nothing. I'd like to see more freedom in schedule making and less teacher absenses.

I have enjoyed my 4 years at Scranton Prep. I have learned much about about what a Jesuit education is and feel I am prepared to take the next steps for college. I have been helped along the way by all the amazing teachers, academics and college councilors. The only downside I see is that the diversity is poor compared to other schools, but over my 4 years it has started to improve.

Working at this school as a cleaner is okay. However, I feel like the staff looks at you diminishingly even though you are just doing your job. I don't see much diversity in the staff at all, which is strange for the school's area. Don't get me wrong, some of the staff is awesome, amazing, and very welcoming, but not all. The building has a ton of problems with leaks and brown water coming from the water pipes. Also, some parts of the school are fancier than others which shows where the funding is going... I hope some changes will come in the coming years, but my review will stay the same if nothing changes.

Compliments from a former student, Prep gained its name for a reason. Each and every student, whether their experience good, great or bad, GRADUATES Prep a better person altogether. My experience, clouded by adolescent rage and folly, was indeed excellent. To all of my fantastic professors, whom I a...
