The best money I have ever spent in my life has been on my daughter's education at Driscoll. Her study habits improved over the years enough to award her induction into the National Honors Society and eventually to be accepted at Loyola University as a Physics and Engineering Major. I can't speak highly enough of Driscoll and it's programs.
Driscoll is on the rise and there is a new energy in the buliding. My children all went and Driscoll has made them into mature adults who will be successful and I encourage parents who are able to send there kids to this great college prep school to do so.
Great school. Great academics and athletics.
I am a guardian of a student at Driscoll and they have done everything to help him. If not for the teachers there I am sure he would have dropped out of school nby now. If a student needs 1 on 1 help this is available to them. You would never get what they give at a public school.
Driscoll is an excellent school. It is unfortunate it gets negative publicity. It has great academics, good sport programs for girls and boys and has a wonderful Christian atmosphere! Driscoll gives children the opportunity to succeed.
Academics leave a lot to be desired. High teacher turnover rate. Great football team tho.
'I belive that Driscoll Catholic is an excellent school. The message that is in the heart of the Driscoll family is unexplainable! Driscoll is a very unique and special school, I ask that if you are considering sending your son/daughter to Driscoll you come visit the school and the children and you will see the love and support that we all give each other. Academics at Driscoll Catholic are outstanding. The most important thing that Driscoll offers is the joy of a Christian school. We are part of the Christian Brothers Society and the student body shows that. On behalf of the student body we say 'Thank You'.
If you have a son and he wants to play football, this is the place to be. If you have a daughter, she will be tortured here. The enrollment is so low for girls it is hard to survive. They offer basic sports. The coordinators of these groups figure if there is a warm body to 'coach' they walk away and have no idea what is going on and do not want to hear about it. When I was taking my child out, the Dean was in the office he did not ask why I was leaving or who I even was. Driscoll is not cheap and I was disappointed in lack of attention the girls got and what went on in their sports circles. The focus was not on being Christen and learning. Acedemically I see no difference between them and the public school.
