St. Agnes Academic School

I am currently attending St. Agnes (2011 school year) and I cannot honestly say that I hate the school. It is also true that I cannot say that im in love with it either. St. Agnes has its positives and negatives like any other school, but i do believe the positives SLIGHLTY out way the negatives. I cannot say everything I think about the school but I do like the small class sizes and TEACHERS WHO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOU!!!! I do not like, however, the lack of college level classes. Currenly, there are only three AP class(one of wheich is art) I am afriad that I am missing out on credits other high school students are receiving at other schools.

I attribute all the success my daughter has had in life to the self-confidence gained at St. Agnes. The teachers and excellent principal know each student and encourage each girl to aspire and achieve all that she can. This combinatin of nurturing and high expectations did lead to scholarships at college, but more than that, it created a mature well-educated and well-round young woman. This school is one in a million

This is a great Catbolic High School and if anyone thinks differently that means you, the child did not apply your or you, the parent did not pay attention to your child. My sister and I both attended the school and are successful adults. The school, faculty, students and parents helped us reach those heights. If you did not apply yourself don't blame a great school blame yourself... We are St. Agnes Academic High School!! You should have gone to Prep or The Mary Louis if, you don't realize what a great school you were afforded the opportunity to attend. Hope you find yourself some day.

This school did not prepare me at all for the challenge of college. The only two AP courses offered at St. Agnes did not help me with me with my field and the lack of APs offered hurt me in the long run. My freshman year of college was spent in tears because of the excessive stress and frustration with the advanced college course load. Most of my other classmates were well prepared in high school and although it was still a challenge for them it was not as difficult. I would never even consider sending my daughter to this school because despite the fact I graduated at the top of my class I suffered a lot in college. There were only about four teachers throughout the four years that actually challenged me and made me work hard. I wish they would make the girls take more responsibility.

It gave me a a wonderful academic education in a supportive and creative atmosphere and my half tuition scholarship made it possible.

I will sing the praise of St. Agnes as long as I live. My daughter walked in there a good student who had to work hard for her A s. She graduated with honors and an $11,500 scholarship to St. John s University. Her level of self-confidence grew far beyond what I had hoped for. She earned 9 College Credits for St. John s in her senior year. She passed all Regents Test without any difficulty. While it is smaller in comparison to likes of other area schools, the personal attention she received at St. Agnes was the foundation of her self-confidence growing. This is a school where every teacher knows every student and cares about them.

My daughter attended this school from 06-08 and did not like the school due to its lack of course options and activites. The only two electives offered to non-seniors are art and music, and seniors have to take art and music as well. Students are not given a choice as to which courses they would like to take. My daughter now attends st. Francis prep, fresh meadows and truly enjoys the school.

The school is way too nosy, parents and students have very little privacy. Passing grade is 65. Horrible guidance counselors,

I am a graduate from the class of 2008, St.Agnes changed my life for the better. It really made me realize I could succeed in life and that I could go to college and make my dreams come true. I created friendships that will last a lifetime. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about all the memories I have from that school.
