This school was worth every penny to go to. The campus is beautiful (as long as you ignore a few smells), the school spirit is great, and the academics are rigorous, yet fair. This school makes you work now so you are prepared for the difficulties of this college. The athletics are one of the best in the state and I love the choir. Most of all, I love the faith formation at this school. When I was choosing between this school and St. Michael's, one main concern of mine was that I wouldn't get a good education about the Catholic faith, and BOY was I proven wrong. In freshman year, the teacher already introduces you to more experienced Theology and Philosophy. However, if you are not Catholic, the school definitely won't force you to be one. Not only does this school give you a better faith, but it also teaches you to be a man or woman with character and integrity. There are people that say that all of the kids are snobby but that's not the case at all. There will always be your select few, but most kids in the school are really affected by the school's great program of character building. Overall, this school is a masterpiece that brings a building of faith, intellect, and character of its students. Also, if you haven't noticed, all reviews that are 2 to 1 stars are reviews that are saying that the students are all rich and snobby (not true) and that we have drug problems. I would also like to note that JSerra has regulated drug tests that makes sure that people aren't violating the law so we have more drug control than most schools. However, to those who say that our school is messy, I will admit that there are a few areas that you need to be weary of.

The lack of school spirit clearly reflects the task-master, follow-the-crowd, vanilla mentality of the student body. If you are a sports star and/or high donor family, you will have no problem at this school. Unfortunately, the rest of us are at the mercy of the administration's questionable justice system. Bullying is a problem, with neither teachers nor coaches being properly trained to handle it. Drugs are another prevalent issue -- often used in the bathrooms on campus. There are one or two administrators at this school who seem to override the Head of School and all others in leadership. Their spiteful dealings with students border on abusive. I would not send my children to this school if it were free, much less $19K/year.

Buyer beware! Everything this school has to offer, you can get at your public school FOR FREE, and you'll save yourself from ridiculous rules (cell phone use during lunch hour will earn your child a Saturday school, for which you get to pay), overzealous parents (convincing teachers to raise grades), exposure to expensive drugs and athlete bullies, and limitations on which institutions qualify for volunteer hours (forget working at animal shelters or ANY organization that supports stem cell research). Teacher turnover is extremely high and many teachers are more interested in coaching than teaching. All this for a mere $18,000/year, PLUS fees for sports (5x more than you pay at public school), AP classes, uniforms, books, etc. It's just not worth it.

Admin at JSerra is horrible. Some teachers care about what students do and how they act and others dont even care. The deans and vp's care more about a students skirts and gum than about the students themselves. pointless rules that people constantly break and find loopholes. Counslers on the other hand are wonderful and their doors are always open for students if they ever need to talk. ADMINISTRATION IS HORRIBLE.
