Saint Francis is an okay school. It prepares students for academics, but it is miserable in other senses.

I'm a student here at Saint Francis and I love it. I've gone to a couple other schools but none are quite the same.

My favorite thing about Saint Francis is the tight-knit community aspect of it. Many students currently attending SF are 2nd or 3rd generation. Most staff members including the principal know every single student by name. A lot of the kids have grown up together and gone through the GTACS system together and have seen each other's best and worst moments. Many Catholic high schools these days are described as a public school with a few crosses hanging up but that's not the case at SF. You are getting a quality Catholic education with constant access to the Sacraments and opportunities to play for pretty good sports teams. SF isn't for everyone but at the end of the day we are a Catholic high school and if you're looking for a true Catholic environment for your kid to thrive in then we are definitely it.

I have two children at this School currently, and find the faculty and administration to be exceptionally dedicated and the atmosphere very conducive to learning. It is among the best investments we have ever made -- having started with the school system at the early elementary level.
