I am a student at Cascia Hall, and these past few years have been the worst. The teachers only care about the kids whose parents/older siblings came to the school as well, or if their parents donated a lot of cash. The people there are sooo snobby and rude! Unless you totally fit in with everyone else and become popular, you get teased on a daily basis. Don't go here if you are a unique person who really values "Truth, unity, and love!"

I am a current student at cascia and it has to be the best school In the entire Tulsa County! It is a great school! Your children will feel so confident when you walk right through the doors! Such a a great school!

Since starting school this year at Cascia verses the public school they attended last year there has been by far a huge improvement. We used to fight to get them to go to school and now they love school so much they are getting up on their own no problems. Attending Cascia has improved their attitude 100% toward school. My children are very bright and now they are being challenged in their studies instead of being called discruptive or daydreaming because of being bored in the public school setting. Also, now I feel they are considered equal in everything they do instead of being one of "the teachers" kids that got away with a lot in the school they attended.

Children are very quichy, lots of bulleying by both Boys and girls in the middle school. Parents are disconnected for their children.

I am currently attending Cascia Hall as a freshman. I have been attending since the second semester of my 7th grade year. I believe Cascia is all you need to be prepared for college. It is exceptionally challenging and the students and teachers are very supportive of academic success. Although I believe you will receive a phenomenal education here, i do not think that Cascia prepares you for the real world in terms of accepting diversity. I feel very strongly in saying that Cascia is a very sheltered school. This does not necessarily make it a bad school, but if you want some diversity and tolerance this is not the school for you.

I am a parent of a student graduating this 2009. Coming from an Illinois public school as a sophomore our son has excelled in every great way in life by the guidance of this excellent prep school. Not only is he now ready for college but the spiritual, ethical, moral and love is taught and shown daily. Many of his student friends will be attending Harvard, Yale, Notre Dame along with our son attending SMU or OU. I have no doubt he will be ready and we thank God we were fortunate to enroll our son in this great school!

I too, am not a parent, but I graduated last spring, and I have nothing but praise for the Cascia education. People in my classes think I am a genius, thanks to the Cascia education. Everyone at Cascia is taught time management: I have had no occasion to disregard that here at college. Cascia prepared me in every way for my college experience. If at all possible, I want to send my child there someday.

My child is a new student in the Cascia Upper School. We have had the most positive school experience one could hope for. The school is challenging, however the teachers go the last mile to provide all that is needed to help the students succeed. The leadership and staff are wonderful & caring. The students are unlike any I have seen in any school. They are friendly, accepting, and supportive of each other, regardless of social status. Other parents are welcoming and helpful. Expect to be amazed. I never dreamed that a school like this could exist in this day and age. My child has flourished in all ways at this school. Thanks Cascia!

I currently attend Cascia Hall. I think the academics and preparation that Cascia gives you is just what you will need for college. Cascia prepares you in every way -- whether it be AP courses, excellent college counseling, offering a wide variety of after school activities, or just strong academics -- Cascia has it all! Cascia is also in the process of building a State-of-the-Art Performing Arts Center. It will be completed in the Fall of 2006. It is supposed to be amazing -- with seating for more than 700. It will become the glory of the campus. And, just take a look at where Cascia is located -- beautiful midtown -- Utica Square is within walking distance -- perfece place to hang out after school with a Starbucks Frappuccino! GO COMMANDOS!

I am not a parent, i am an alumni with every intention of sending my children to this school. it not only has the best math program in oklahoma but it is a safe environment with teachers that know their students. Their AP chemistry teacher, above all, is the best a school could ask for. her teaching methods are absolutely stellar.

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.
