As a Student I was pleasantly surprised on how fun going to Guerin was. It was very easy to make friends and the teachers seemed to really care about your education. Also the use of laptops really helps out on assignments I highly recommend Guerin to any one.

I am a student at Guerin and personally despite what most people have been saying on here and off of here, I like Guerin. Most of the teachers are wonderful and answer any questions you have. They have great honors and advanced placement programs as well as clubs and fine arts. Compared to how my friends

The other students are approachable and I don't get the feeling of sterotyped groups or any real set groups at all. The recent uniform change is real messed up though and I think needs to be sorted out soon before its an all out battle between the administration and teachers. Read less

Going to Guerin was one of the worst mistakes I ever made. I had a few good friends and had a couple of good teachers (most of whom are approaching retiring age), but overall, my experience was horrible. If you are looking for a school that will prepare your children for college, Guerin, despite its

This school seems to forget about the arts and glorifies only those who can run and hit a ball. The administrators frankly do not care about the students opinion. Guerin College Prep has not prepared my daughter for college even with taking honors and ap classes.

I am a former Guerin student and I regret ever going there. If it wasn't for the friends I met there or one teacher I had; then I would have to say it was a waste of time. If you're a smart kid and you take honor classes and AP classes then Guerin isn't so bad. But many of the regular level classes

My daughter transferred to Guerin to begin her junior year; from an honor student she went to C and D grades. The principal was more interested in filling out classes than to place students in classes of their interest. The teachers expected her to know their system of teaching without giving her any
... Read more instruction at all; overall the teachers are mediocre. The students form cliques and the administration does nothing about discouraging such segregation. Food is expensive and not very good. Mother Guerin became Guerin College Prep and everything was up for grabs! If I could do it all over, my daughter would never set foot at Guerin. Read less
