I attended St. Pius X for 4 years. It is a great community to get involved in. The teachers are great and are there for you for whatever you need.

Love that my kids are challenged to be stronger both academically and spiritually. This school is a family of educators and learners...parent involvement is high. My kids love that they have opportunities to take classes that most schools don't offer, like sociology and AP art. It's amazing how wonderful

I'm currently a junior at St. Pius, and after a rough transition for freshman year, I have really come to enjoy it. Mr. Spellman is the best principal in the history of principals. He's so enthusiastic and knows so many students by name. The teachers are challenging but usually very good. I feel like

Athletics and fine arts are always pretty good, and I don't even know all the clubs in the school. Parents are pretty involved, and even though it's in a sketchy neighborhood, no one ever feels unsafe. I feel like I'm being prepared for college, and I love my school. Read less

Here is a school which cares, which challenges, which seeks to meets needs of its population. The principal is absolutely top drawer, the teachers involved,highly qualified, caring; student body diverse across socio-economic levels, racial populations and student apptitude.I read a critique questioning
... Read more diversity...this is a parochial school, some call it private- likely considered so by admissions standards...still the school attempts to appeal to and accept students willing to work,but who can afford the tuition,&/or qualify for one of many scholarships.. Tuition is reasonable by Atlanta private school standards- the days of parochial school 'free rides' are over. I also object to the criticism that students who need help won't find help here. That is completely untrue and we know from 4 years of experience! To be fair, we did not come from a public school, but were well-prepared by 9 years of private K-8 schooling. Here is a school population which works hard and plays hard - many sports/arts/extra curricular activities. Read less

St. Pius is not only a great school, but a great community. The parents and teachers are so warm and caring and the students are all great. Something that I really liked about St. Pius is that even though it is a Catholic school, the teachers and staff are very open-minded and do not force any beliefs

As non-Catholics, we have felt welcomed and included in every way. Diversity is clear here- accounting for the richness of the community. Almost a hybrid of public/private.

The talent here, combined w/caring about the students make for an excellent learning environment. Academically, St.Pius offers 3 levels-Honors, College Prep I, College Prep II as well as every type AP course -also a study center staffed by exceptional teachers/guidance staff. The Arts are important here- several years ago an entire building opened devoted to Fine Arts and further growth. Students participate exuberantly in every athletic sport imaginable.

Regarding the diversity issue ~ what do you mean? It's a Catholic school. Of course, the majority of the students will be Catholic. If you're talking about racial diversity, look at the statistics. Black Catholics are a minority in the Church. This isn't New Orleans, where there's a strong old foundation

If it's a socioeconomic issues - once again check your surroundings. St. Pius's tuition isn't cheap. Yes, scholarships are offered, but not to cover everything. So, not everyone can afford to attend.
