Shrine of the Little Flower Academy has help our daughter with academic struggles. The facility and teachers have reached out and offered assistance outside of school hours to go over areas she has struggled with. They really want every child to succeed.

I was not very satisfied with my experience at Shrine Catholic High School. I feel that the academics leave much to be desired, and the students are unfocused on their classes and grade. In my experience there, the environment was not one that would prepare me for college, and the facilities in the school are falling apart. For example, the tiles on the hallways sometimes fall down, and the school gives off a general feeling of disrepair.

History is quite strong to...

This was my old school, and it excelled in the English and Literature areas. However, it lacks electives and a good math/science program. Everyone is welcoming, but the school is very clique-ish and once you're in a clique, you cannot really get out. Overall, it's a decent school, but I left because...
