Due to employment demands our family has lived in many cities around the nation and our children have attended multiple schools. I can say from my own experiences with a variety of learning institutions that Trinity High School offers tremendous opportunities, academically, socially, and athletically. Nine out of ten teachers hold a Master's degree or higher, state-of-the-art technology is used daily, and nine academic/guidance counselors on staff for approximately 1,400 students. 98 percent of the recent (2012) graduating class is attending higher education. I believe PARENTS hold the primary responsibility for educating and leading their children. If you are actively engaged in your children's education and development into positive, productive humans and are looking for an environment, staff, and administration that supports and fosters working to one's full potential, giving back to others, and respect, this school is a great choice. Our family doesn't happen to be Catholic but we have never been made to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome because of our differing faith. We chose this school for our sons based on quality of EDUCATION offered, not religious tenets.

My son is in his junior year at Trinity. The teachers and staff are dedicated to growth and kindness. I believe that we are fortunate to have such an outstanding school in Louisville. Sports may take the spotlight often, but academics is excellent. Add to these attributes, the teachings of our Catholic faith, and the environment is ripe for a well balance between mind, body and spirit. It's first choice for a great education. I am proud to be a part of Trinity High School.

I am currently a junior at Trinity. I transferred here my sophomore year. After a thorough search and visiting a number of private schools in Louisville, along with shadowing, I chose Trinity. I can't tell you how glad I am I made the choice to attend it. I have had some of my most challenging teachers at Trinity. The classes are rigorous and well paced. They have 4 different learning levels, each personalized for the ability of different students. Unlike my old school, at Trinity we are one giant family. While the majority of the students are from upper middle class and upper class families, they don't frown upon less fortunate people. The campus is exceptional, it makes my old school look like a piece of dirt. It is designed to resemble a college campus, separate buildings for different subjects. Overall, Trinity has provided me with an exceptional education and high school experience that my old school simply never could have supplied me with. I am truly grateful to be able to attend it and I feel sorry for those who just can't afford it. If you can afford to send your child to a private school, do it! As a student who has been in both, there is a world of difference!

Very welcoming school, they want everyone to achieve their full potential and they do it. I like the manners and the discipline that they instill in the the boys. It has been a great life changing experience for my son. Extremely organized school that is always working to improve. Excellent sports programs too.

Very pleased with the academics, the caring attitude and the way the school instills manners in the students. My son uses 'Thank You' and 'Please' more now than I expected (without having to remindhim about it). It's a shame we can't replicate this across the board in the non-private school environment, since the cost of private school tuition prohibits most people from being able to attend.

I dont know what happened to th eformer student whorated the school as a 1 star. He is obviously disgruntled for some personal reason. It was a great school and experience.

Trinity is a special place. My son came from a school with only 250 total students, and I was worried he would be overwhelmed by the number of students (1400+) and the size if the campus. After 2 weeks attending Trinity felt completely at home! With the many clubs and the house system, he had many new friends! Trinity was a great decision!

I think Trinity is the best school in Louisville for my two sons. The academics are strong, and there is something for everyone at this school. I don't know any of my kids friends who would want to be anywhere else.

This school has it all. My two sons went there and credit it with much of their current success. Sincere teacher interest. Caters to a wide base of students

Trinity high school has the ' complete package', great academics, superb facilities, strong athletic teams and a variety of student activities. In 2005 Trinity had more Governor Scholars than any school in Louisville. If you're son is serious about experiencing the best of Louisville than send him to Trinity.

The only good thing this school has to offer is athletics. The academic programs are unacceptable, none of the kids care. I reccomend sending your son somewhere else.

Trinity High School is the most amazing place! The faculty is outstanding, all very caring individuals who want your child to succeed in every way. The religious education is everything you ever dreamed of, excellent. Everyone is welcomed there and by the time the guys reach their Senior year they are all truly brothers for life.
