We have had children at Sacred Heart for 4 years now and our experience has been extremely positive...especially for a 'non-local' family. With every school there are strengths and weaknesses and Sacred Heart is no exception. The environment our kids have been exposed to is faith based but not over the

We noticed, there are virtually no disciplinary issues at all, which in later grades can be a challenge in Hollister. The parental involvement and support really makes one feel like part of a community, actually more like a family which is an added bonus. Lastly, the educators are extremely qualified, they truly care about our kids and it shows in their attitude towards school...they love going!!! Every school has flaws and SHPS is no exception, but the good far outweigh the bad. Read less

Sacred Heart school has taught my children so much more than academics. It has taught them how to be a leader, a Christian, and a role model. Many of the students have competed in speech contests, spelling bees, science fairs, and writing contests in our county and in the state. The teachers care

I think for a private school Sacred Heart really needs to look at extra curricular activies. There is no art class. Music is lacking- The pre-K 3 year old program was cut this year, which I really saw as a bad move. The positive to this school is that they offer a Pre-K and a K class, which is nice for

The parent involvement is great, and low teacher ratio are the reasons we still have our child at this school. We aren't sure if we'll keep him here next year though because it's just average in my opinion. I know quite a few families have left this year. I hope they get all these issues ironed out soon.

Our child has been part of this school for 5 years. We did have one year that was quite challenging. Didn't care for the teacher. We stuck with it and have been extremely happy with the other teachers and the academic programs. They have music for all grades and sports for the upper grades. There
