Little Flower Catholic High School

I currently attend Little Flower high school, and I love it. I thought there was going to be a lot of drama in the school but was surprised when everyone welcomed me with open hands. In Little Flower , we are like one big family, and we welcome everyone to our school.

I am a current student at Little Flower, and i love it. It challenges me just enough, and it makes me feel at home. The teachers are great. I truly feel prepared for college, considering my previous teachers showed me how to compose an essay properly. This is an amazing school, and i highly recommend it.

We are almost to the middle of my daughter's freshman year, and I am still unsure of my feelings. As a parent we have he right to say where she can go and where she can't go because of the neighborhood. I agree with the other users, It is in a bad neighborhood. I feel uneasy about her taking the bus to and from school everyday especially on yesterdays snow day when the tripper buses were not available on the 2 hour delay. My daughter's safety comes first and foremost. I agree they have wonderful teachers, however I do feel she is not being academically challenged enough. We are waiting out the year and see what 2nd part of the year will bring. At this moment, their is a chance of transferring.

I am a recent graduate of Little Flower, and as I look back on my four years there, I could not imagine a better school to have graduated from. Little Flower is it's own little community, even more then that, it's a family. Never have I felt more safe and comfortable at a school. The adminastration, teachers, staff, and students just make you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. People always put LF down becasue of the neighborhood that it's in, but they couldn't be more wrong, and for all those parents who don't send their girls to LF because of that reason, it's a shame becasue their girls are really missing out on what would be the best four years of thier lives. I met my best friends at LF, my true friends. Going to LF was not only was good academically, but it was also good for my overall character as a person, I learned how to be myself and not to try and be someone I'm not to impress other people. My four years there helped me academically, and with self-confidence issues. To me, and i know many others, LF is the best school around. Forever We'll Be True!

The administration is the absolute best. I'd love to name all the great people but I'd have to list everybody. This is a school filled with spirit and passion. If you're looking for an all girls catholic education for your daughter, look no further then LF. It's not the oldest all girls school in Philadelphia but it's the best!

My Daughter just started as a Freshman, She missed the last bus and ended up having to take public transportation home. Which in that neighborhood, scares me to death. The first 2 weeks of school, she told me that she made the wrong decision. The "spirit" we saw at Open house, just simply was not their. She was also being bullied, She wishes she went to another school. Which I will be doing at the end of this semester. For now, I will be dropping her off and picking her up everyday just to make sure she is safe.

I am a parent of two recent graduates of LF and plan to send their younger siblings there when the time comes. The experience we have at the school is nothing short of marvelous. Our two LF grads ranked at the top of their classes and were challenged to work hard in their AP courses. The hard work paid off as both were offered appealing scholarships from a variety of Universities. However, it is the day to day life at LF that is the truly amazing quality the school offers. The spirit at the school is extraordinary and the girls really love attending and work hard to succeed. The faculty themselves are knowledgeable in their fields and are energetic in having the girls go that extra mile to surpass expectations. The school itself is beautiful and immaculate. Their traditions are plentiful and the girls themselves are very protective of them. .

I highly recommend this school for the parents that want to give their daughter a single sex education. Many reasons why: no boy distractions except for the handful of foreign exchange students, the teachers care and are highly qualified. Sister Donna(now President of the school) was one of my English teachers and one of the many reasons why I have a BA in English/communications. The school is excellent in preparing the students for college. Excellent in teaching them to be an upholding citizen, young lady. Wonderful Guidance dept, helped me w/ college apps, tours of colleges, excellent support system for expecting teenage mothers as well. The school is all about commitment, family, integrity and lastly a wonderful education.

LF is in the middle of the worst neighborhood in Philadelphia. The building has to close at 3:30pm everyday because the neighborhood is so bad in the evening time. They also have no renovations done to the building which make it look as dingy and poor as the students who go there. Where's the technology? Welcome to the 21st century.
