Super school that has tradition going back to 1861. The Christian Brothers of France are the best.

In our focus to assist girls and women to succeed, I feel we have cast our boys and young men aside. I have a sophomore at St. Pat's; he requested to attend an all male school and we knew it to have one of the best academic programs in the city. Their tuition is also realistically priced so many people from a variety of backgrounds can afford it. Also, I had an older son attend and while he did not finish high school there, due to other circumstances, St. Pat's extracurricular programs provided a successful career path for him (sports medicine). They work with all kids from many backgrounds and at all academic levels to make their high school career a success. I'm pleased with the ethics and brotherhood that is encouraged of all students.

It is a very great High school. Students go here and learn both life and books. It is one of the best High Schools for sports also. Very competitive in every sport. But also offers other activities then sports such as band or many other clubs.

Im a freshman here at st. pat's and this is probably the best thing that happened to me. The teaching staff is great and so are our sport's programs. There is something here for everyone no matter what it is that you are into. This is a great school and I would recommend it to anyone.

My son will be a Junior in September. He loves the school and is very happy there. The curriculum is very diverse and, for the most part, the teachers relate to the students on a level that is comfortable to them. It is a very disciplined school and when there may be a problem, the staff is very good at keeping the safety of the students a #1 priority.

A wonderful all-boys Catholic high school. My son is a junior this year and absolutely loves the school. The discipline is wonderful here and all the teachers are committed to teaching and seem to care about the boys. My son came to the school in need of some academic help and after 2 years he is doing well due to his hard work and the dedication of the teachers and faculty at this school.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
