Mercy High School

I am a junior at Mercy, and if you are looking for the best education and preparation for college for your daughter-- send her to Mercy. I've shadowed at other schools but none compared to Mercy, no one really understands how great it is until you go there.

Mercy High School is unique high school that I have only praise for. After reading other reviews, especially one submitted by a "teacher," I felt that I needed to share my thoughts. Mercy is open to everyone, regardless of financial or educational background. I personally have girls in my class who have disabilities that would probably not be accepted at any other private school in the area. Mercy not only welcomes these girls in, but goes the extra mile to help them learn. On the financial note, I am not well off financially (and have never taken an art class) but I don't feel as if that has hinder my experience or caused the faculty members to care about me less than the other girls. If you are looking for a wonderful school for your daughter where she can make friends, memories, and become a well-rounded, college prepared student, I encourage you to look at Mercy High School.

The face value of the school is important but should not exceed the ethical responsibility this HS is lacking towards it's own staff and lower level learners. If your child is good at art, or from a wealthy family then you will have praise and admiration regarding the treatment of your child's enrollment at Mercy. However, this school is deeply rooted in a tradition of alliances, and useless meddling to create false repulations of achievement based upon casting out the week, poor, or learning disabled. It seems they love to entertain the idea that LD students have disciple issues and actually call students to report in secret to administration (w/o parent consent!) how to get rid of those who attempt to point out this school does not accomodate or follow through on a promise to parents their child will have resources to excel. Parents should beware.

This school is like a second home to me and i dont think i could ever leave. but eventually i will have too. Mercy is filled with amazing people all kind and helpful. the staff and teachers are a blast and pull off the most hilarious stunts when you least expect it. ive learned so much at this school and will never forget a single second of it.

I am currently a freshman attending MHS. The environment is very friendly and everyone knows everyone. The classes are challenging and I don't get bored in class. The only down side is you can't graduate your junior year, because of required classes senior year. The athletics are good and very few if anyone is cut from the teams. As a freshman I know most the people by name, and hang out with people from all grades. Danielle Davis, class of 2011

Mercy high school requires parent involvement and the parents are actively involved. This is a private, all girls, catholic high school. My daughter was not raised catholic. Her individual standards and religious differences were supported and respected. There is no teacher, principal, office worker, etc. Who is not aware of who your child is she was known by name all students at this school are known by name and family. The academic challenges of this school prepare your daughter for college and practical life application. Yes, the art department is excellent. A college art instructor, looking at the work from my daughter s high school was amazed what was done in high school, her comment was -- you had a excellent art instructor for high school. Don t let this take away from the other classes and teachers excellent! i am so pleased with her growth, independence, and development. This school is a jewel for young women.

The small class size, excellent teachers, and awesome fine arts department make this the perfect school for my daughter. She thinks everyone at Mercy is friendly, and can't imagine attending any other school.
