My daughter went to this school for a semester before we took her out. We expected this school to have great morals since it is private. It is the exact opposite. The students in this school are terrible and I've never even thought that they would do the things that they do there. I'm not the only

My daughter is now at a public high school and loves it! She is very thankful that she was able to transfer out of Resurrection and in a nicer environment with great friends at her public high school. Resurrection is NOT the same as it used to be. Please do not make the same mistake we did. Read less

The education is typical of any high school in within a 20 mile radius. The electives are extremely limited. And yet the tuition is so HIGH!

There have been significant changes at Resurrection this year and finally there is some real leadership in the role of principal and president.

I love going to Resurrection! It was the best decision of my life to test here. The teachers, faculty, staff, and students are all excellent. I currently am a junior and honors student at Res, and I truly believe that I would not have been this happy at any other school in the city. The day I graduate

Without a doubt, attending Res has been one of the best experiences of my life. And there is not a single day that I regret having chosen this school. There is a very strong sense of community and family. Teachers are always willing to help and encourage students to do well. Many important resources

The school encourages responsibility and time management even during the summertime (reading and math programs). And one thing that really makes this school is the incredible practicum program offered to upperclassman. It's a real eye opener and allows for the girls to seriously start thinking and planning for their future in education and careers. You can't say this about any other school. Read less

Everyone can expect Resurrection as not an easy school for many reasons. However, if your daughter does succeed here, she will be perfectly ready to handle college life. Your daughter will need to be extremely proactive, assertive, and persistent while attending Res. Teachers will only notice the students

Most importantly, the sense of community is amazing. I always wish that I could go back to high school because of the welcoming atmosphere. Do not allow your child to attend Res and expect a miracle 'turn around' because of the tuition and its status as a 'good school'. Your daughter will only 'get lost' if she does not work hard, stay focused, and get involved. Read less

My daughter made some wonderful friends, but did not like the school otherwise. Her guidance counselor was not very helpful- my daughter felt 'lost in the shuffle'. The teachers either aren't trained properly on the school connect website to update grades, or are very lazy in getting them posted.

My daughter graduated in 2006 and is successfully attending a rigorous 4 year liberal arts college. I feel she is very well prepared for the challenges of college academics.

Resurrection seems to always get a bad rep in our community but I would urge parents to consider it for their daughters. They walked the students and parents through the college admissions process very well I believe. They also offer many scholarship opportunities. Probably my only concern would be for girls who have the hearts set on playing one of the popular sports, it's hard to make a team. Read less
