I went to this school years ago. Very stuck-up. It's hard to really fit in unless your parents are rich or 'old money'. Sorry I call it like I see it...what a horrible reputation for a Catholic school to have. Some advice...if you're seriously thinking about sending your kids there and don't fit into the 'rich' or 'old money' categories...make your kids play sports. That's the only way they're not going to be hated. Kids don't understand this kind of b.s. For years I felt like I was the one who was a loser. When I got to high school, I made a ton of friends and had the best social life a kid could ask for. All it took was for me to get out of that fakey 'springhill' school. My mom regrets not transferring all of us even though we begged her to. The teachers were great...that's it.
St. Ignatius Catholic School is a wonderful school, with an exemplary administration and faculty. The principal cares for the students and her faculty; and is very open to working with the parents to make the school even better than it already is. It is a National Blue Ribbon School and the principal is a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon Principal. Many on the faculty hold Master degrees. There are many extra curricular activities available. Why not visit the school's website and find out more?
St. Ignatius is caring & strong Catholic school. Teachers are dedicated to providing a quality eduation for students. Parents are very involved to help provide that eduation. However, administration is very weak and nonsupportive. St. Ignatius has the capability of being superior but the principal lacks vision to take it forward. There are not enough Academic Extracurricular programs because the principal doesn't encourage them.
