That spells drama-drama-drama. I transfered out sophomore year, as did nearly 1/2 of my class. I was happier in a large public school. I saw no difference in the quality of education. It all depends on the individual teachers and the individual student. Dont waste your money. Going to ND does NOT guarantee your child to a brighter future. Read less

Notre Dame High School provides an excellent college prep program for girls. Most of the teachers, and maybe all of them have at least a Master's Degree in their subject; some have PhD. My daughter graduated in 2006 and my younger daughter will be attending in 2008 and will graduate in 2012. You won't

You can't ask for more in a school. It has a 99.8% rate of grads who attend college. The teachers are wonderful and there is a parent website for homework and grades. If you send an email to a teacher, you will receive a response within 24 hours. My daughter loved the atmosphere and notes that there aren't any of the common 'clicks' or groups. Read less

Great school to prepare you for college because it works like one. Its a very tight knit school where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Sports and clubs could be better.

I agree that at the begining of the year my impression of ND was wonderful. I couldn't ask for anything better, but as the year progressed I found that I was slipping academically. Now I am not blaming that on the school but I feel that the teachers could be a little more involved and I got the impression

To me teaching is a wonderful position and if you don't have a passion for it then your students might not be very involved in the learning process. Just an idea for the new teachers who are not aquainted with the ND teaching process. Other than that and the fact that some girls can be quite rude and hurtful Notre Dame is a wonderful school.
