Notre Dame is a great school. I graduated in 2006 and I am now a senior in an Ivy League institution. I don't think that I would have ever achieved all that I have achieved if it weren't for ND. The teachers are excellent and the Counseling staff is top notch. I hear from my peers about how they

ND guidance counselors ENSURE that ALL students apply and are accepted into four-year universities and colleges. I will say that while I was there, I did not appreciate the wonderful opportunities and people at ND, but I am so glad to have formed and to still form a part of the Chez Nous (ND's motto) family.

Notre Dame is not a very good school. It isn't pretty and i am afraid i will not be getting into a good college as i am a sophomore right now. Also, there are only four sports that actually compete with other schools. There are many private schools in Manhattan that your daughter can go to that are

School is not as great as some people believe it to be. Im a student and it's not great, there are no activities, school is too small, the lunch is horrible, and the school does not care about its students. The principal cannot relate to her students or cares about them. If you are planning to attend

I will be a sophomore at Notre Dame in September and my freshman year experience was fun and gratifying. I'll admit the school was quite unorganized this year, and as I've come to realize, is still developing and growing.The extra-curriculars were unorganized as well, but I feel as they will develop

As for the academics I feel as if the school prepares a student very well. The school wants the students to feel as if the school day ends at 4:00 so be prepared to stay after school a lot.Academics are challenging [math especially] but if one truly studies and stays after school, one will achieve excellence. Many of my friends have gotten several hundreds on their report cards, and achievements do NOT go unnoticed. Read less

I am currently a senior at Notre Dame. My biggest complaint about ND is that it is not challenging. A student does not have to work hard to recieve honors or be inducted to the National Honor Society. The teachers range from excellent to very poor. In addition to this there are only three AP courses

I will start in September as a senior. Most teachers are just what a student needs to understand the material. I thought that Notre Dame was well off academically but the school fails to compare to that of Xavior. It is not that they are smarter than we are. Many feel that we were not as prepared. There
... Read more are hardly any extracurricular activities and if there are, the clubs hardly ever meet. Last year, no one knew when any clubs were going on. Student council meetings were random and rare and nothing was accomplished. The school does not meet the students' needs. The tuition is very high. The senior book fee alone ranges from $800-$1000. I fear for the graduation fee. Read less

My daughter is about to start her second year at Notre Dame; she had an extremely positive experience, both academically and socially, during her freshman year. My daughter had been accepted to Dominican, Sacred Heart and Loyola as well as to Stuyvesant. After much deliberation, we chose Notre Dame

Notre Dame is a very good academic school but it lacks the personal touch. The staff are cold and unfeeling and are ill prepared to deal with a child that has problems. My experience with this school was not a good one. My daughter got depressed in her freshman year and they were very unsympathetic.

She had to be home instructed and Notre Dame refused to cooperate with the Board of Education and would not give her home instruction teacher the ciriculum so that she could keep up. So needless to say She no longer goes to Notre Dame. She is now a student at Robert Louis Stevenson and doing excellent. Read less

Great school for girls. The only issue with Notre Dame is that the school is always moving all over Manhattan. One thing remains constant though. That is the quality of educators, the quality of students and the small class sizes.
