Holy Trinity Catholic Middle School

Holy Trinity is a fantastic school! The academics are rigorous, and the teachers have high expectations but are also caring and attentive to individual needs. The Catholic faith is evident throughout the day and in the many ways the school gives back to the community. I had 3 children go through this school and found it to be a top-notch school with great teachers, a lot of technology, and a Catholic base.

Holy Trinity is a great Catholic Middle School now that they have a new principal. The school has improved 100% in the past 2 years. My child has a higher SAT score in the 7th grade then the average HS Senior in NC. While they may not pray the Rosary they take religion class every day and they pray twice a day. The education is worth the money and better then any public school in Charlotte.

A word of warning about this school and its lackadaisical attitude toward bullying. I found the administration's reaction to what has become a serious problem in schools lackluster at best. Despite physical attacks on my son, a simple "talking to" was the only consequence the school administrator deemed appropriate for the offender.

Good academics! Lacks adequate discipline or sufficient religious education. Neither of my children can remember praying the rosary in school. Admistration is superficially polite but seldom actually reacts with a solution.

Another thing is the teachers and staff are really into your businees. I got sent to the councelors office because a teacher ease dropped in my conversations and misinterpretted what I sai to my frends. They just are really worried about your business instead of focusing on teaching. it's really sad.

I am currently attending Holy Trinity in the eighth grade. I love school, have many friends, have had the opportunity to play three school sports THIS YEAR, am in honors classes, and have a strong relationship with God. This school is worth sending your children to. The administration checks in on you to make sure everything is fine and the teachers do their best to accomodate your needs.

I have had three students in Holy Trinity. It is a wonderful school. The atmosphere is truly catholic and the teachers seem to care about the students personally and academically. I've seen a lot of positive changes this past year. The administration is more involved and visible, and there's a lot of communication from the school to keep us parents informed. The buildings are old, they could use some updating but they are clean, classes are organized. It's a great place to send your child.

I graduated from Holy Trinity three years ago and I hated it. The teachers seem to enjoy personally attacking students more than actually teaching. They have no respect for the students, so the students have no respect for them. The education was decent, but the experience was not in any way enjoyable. The facilities are poorly maintained and reek of body odor and garlic bread- the HT stench which is forever ingrained in my brain. The kids are extremely rude and organized into very exclusive cliques. It is a very depressing place, and I consider my middle school days to be the worst three years of my life. I deeply regret not switching out.

I'm also a HTCMS graduate and so I would like to put my two cents in. While HTCMS gave me a great work ethic and discipline, that was only because the teachers screamed and publicly humiliated the students. Needless to say, my drive to succeed comes from a very unhealthy source and required many years of therapy. The catholic school system in Charlotte is a bit of a paradox. They teach about loving one another and treating others as you would be treated, while at the same time verbally berating the students. Not to mention the religion education was a little bit...off. Unfortunately, most of the parents were completely oblivious to how the children were treated. Send your kids to another private school. Its worth the money.
