Best High School in Ohio, many of my friends go to Gahanna and the work load and preparation for a test at Gahanna Lincoln is equal to the preparation a St. Charles boy goes through to get ready for a quiz. This is my second year at St.Charles and i am having no trouble attending here and the fact that

St. Charles is definitely one of the best high schools in central Ohio. Once you visit the school, you will notice that every student there is very polite. My son graduated there and now is a student in UCLA. He got basically a full scholarship to enter the honor program at the Ohio State University,

If your son can graduate from St. Charles, he can definitely make it through college anywhere. It also has classes that discuss morality and what is right or wrong, that kind of topics. I find that really helpful to give students some guidiance on moral values, which you can't really discuss them in public school that much. Read less

Saint Charles is the finest school in greater Columbus -- bar none. For half the cost of its nearest peer college-prep school in the area, a student will earn the right to attend any college, university, or military academy in the world.

I can't think of another high school that would have driven my son not to be satisifed with the ordinary, but to raise his expectations above and beyond the cliche of 'allowing each child to seek his/her own level.' Here, excellence is not only expected, but rewarded. I know from the scholarship offers

St Charles relies too much on its reputation, without actually having much to support it. When I graduated, I had issues adjusting to a coed college. In retrospect, a lot of the things we did at St Charles were immature and lacked a certain amount of respect. My friends from other Catholic schools

Saint Charles Preparatory is without question the best school in Central Ohio and probably the whole state. As a student here, I can say that SC has provided me with amazing challenges, especially academically. The teachers are tough yet approachable and willing to help, and the curriculum is very strong.

Parents ought to send their sons to SC - it'll be a tough 4 years, but also the best, most fun, and most rewarding 4 years of your entire life. Read less
