My experience at Salpointe Catholic High School has been incredible. The school's religious foundation has helped me grow spiritually, and its strong academics have prepared me well for college. I've made amazing friends who feel like family, and the positive energy on campus makes every day enjoyable. Salpointe has given me valuable experiences and lifelong memories.

Salpointe is one of the best schools that a high school student could go to. One the academics are phenomenal as well as the teachers are always there to support you.

While the sports teams are very good, the coaches do not focus on developing players, so if you aren't already very good at your sport, good luck advancing. Teachers were very hit or miss and there are not many ap classes to choose from. Their schedules choices for classes are also very restricted, having to take a "bundle" of classes if I only wanted one.

If you have a perfect kid with perfect academics, he or she might do well here but if your kid is anything less than perfect, good luck. The fine arts department has clear favoritism. Expect for freshman to get lead roles repeatedly despite their knowledge that some juniors and seniors are trying to...
