There should be more outreach programs for those struggling with mental health. There is an extreme amount of stress put on students at Loyola Academy, and many other similar surrounding college preparatory schools do not.

The best part about my current high school is the amount of resources given. Since it is private, there's a tuition fee every year, so receiving these sources is fair for the price we pay.

As someone with financial need, it's been hard to click with other students.

This school is more than happy to take the now near $75,000 from families for four years of an average education which can be comparably found at many good public schools. They seem to emphasize and celebrate their athletes, and even with poor/average grades those are the students that are accepted...
