Jesuit High School is a very overrated school with teachers who are jokes, students who definitely aren't 'Men for Others' and an administration more focused on uniform than the actual person. My student transferred from Jesuit to public, and loves public. Not that he hated Jesuit, its just that all
... Read more boys with poor teaching (not even that challenging) and odd values isn't exactly a great high school. I suggest more AP/Honors classes and less focus on sports and uniform checks. Also JUG is a joke that is given out far too often. Read less

I have noticed in alot of the other reviews of Jesuit, that parents seem disapointed with the lack of AP/honors classes. I will admit that this is true, but at the same time, there is suposed to be more to high shcool than just trying to get that elusive 5.2 GPA. What i believe to be the greatest aspect

The coaches, teachers, counclers, administratesrs, and other staff are some of the greatest people you will ever meen, but at the same time, will go to no end to help you suceed in not only school, but in life. i believe that Jesuit is one of, in not the, best school in northern California.

Having two sons graduate and a third currently attending, I must say that Jesuit has benefited them more than I could have expected.

I graduated 2005 from this school. I loved it. At first it was an adjustment period, but you soon to just mesh with all all the students and you develop a brotherhood. I believe that this school contributed at least 40% of my personality. I'm stronger, more determined, and just straight up confident.

Jesuit is a great school academically and athletically. They strive for you to work for o others and not always think about your self. The teachers are great and they make the classes excellent and provide help for any student at any given time. The coaches are great and teach you things that most public

After doing my research, I have to say I was not impressed by Jesuit HS. I know that the Jesuit order has been very successful in the education arena but this school was a disappointment. I feel that the school has lost its way and is more focused on sports than it is on education. I do not think

I know many parents think that the school has developed their sons to be good christians, good people, and good students. Excuse me for thinking that all these virtues should be an extension of the home and the main responsibility of the parents more so than school. Graduates are not making the cut into the top notch colleges and old-fashion traditions - one gender, latin, mandatory religion classes, lake of computer classes, and AP classes is not good.

Jesuit High School knows how to teach boys to become young men. I have three sons, one graduated, one still there and one coming in the fall. I have watched my boys grow and become confident men. Jesuit teaches things that cannot be taught through books. It will teach you to think of others and not yourself.
... Read more I don't know of any AP or hnors courses that teach those things. From the 'jock' to the 'nerd' everyone finds there spot at their own pace. If you have a child that needs extra help they will provide the help that he needs. Public schools just want to see their 'scores' go up and the average kid just gets pushed through. Not a Jesuit the 'average' kid is celebrated. Read less

Jesuit has a meritorious pool of students that reflect superiority in Christian beliefs and that the school is excellent in academics but the school is very limited in placement for AP and Honor classes. For example, a student must take an XL class before admission into an AP or Honors course. These
... Read more XL classes do not receive extra merit by colleges. Students with 'B' and 'C' grades in XL courses do not exemplify excellence even though they are admitted into AP and Honors courses. The catholic schools are the only high schools with an XL program. My son took XL classes but he was able to take 5 AP/Honors classes in his Junior year and 5 AP/Honors classes in his senior year. I received B's in his XL courses which significantly brought down his g.p.a and very few students attend top universities at Jesuit. My brother will attend Mira Loma. Read less

The school's curriculum fits 6 classes each semester. Other public schools such as Rocklin High and Roseville High ofer 8 classes each semester. Plus, Jesuit requires Theology 9 and Theology 10 which does not count for a real class for colleges. Also, Social Justice, a class that counts for real credit
