As a current college student and alum, I am very appreciative of the high school experience for which Magnificat provided. The college prep I received often reaches far beyond that of my college peers, with many outstanding teachers making my preparation possible. Mags is competitive without being

The sense of community can be a huge asset to an education at Magnificat, and I know it helped me tremendously when I had personal struggles during high school. Students, teachers, and administration alike truly care for not only the success and achievement of the student, but also her well-being. The course catalogue could benefit from further progressive additions, but that aside, Magnificat is a superior place to gain an education. Read less

As a parent, I loved Magnificat. The values I taught my daughter were reinforced. Most of the teachers are excellent. My daughter is a college freshman now and she tells me she is very well prepared for college. I read the review posted on 3/17/05. That parent is completely incorrect. The curriculum

I'm a graduate of Magnificat. I'm currently working towards a Masters in Library Science. I honestly believe that Magnificat more than prepared me for college. I tested out of several freshman college courses and earned my Bachelor Degree in less than four years. I miss Magnificat more than I can

As with anything, you get back based on what you invest. My daughter has high motivation, and has found a challenging environment. The challenges are not just in the classroom, but in her views of the poor and social issues. I am very thankful to the Magnificat community for the influence on my daughter.

So I'm not a parent, I'm a senior, but I know more about Magnificat than any parent. The academic programs are challenging if the student chooses to take the challenging courses and qualifies for them.

The school is challenging if you allow yourself to be challenged. The guidance department could be better, but if you're on this website looking up a high school for your child, I'm sure you'll be more than enough college counselor for your child. Sports? We're the best, there is no doubt. Talent? We're the best, there is no doubt. Parent Involvement? It's there, but our students dont need it, we're becoming adults. Read less

I sent two of my daughters to Magnificat High School only because the other options for our side of town are very poor. This was a huge mistake and I would never send a child to Magnifcat High School again. The teachers are outdated, as is the course selection. They have no computer department to

That is not surprising since the SAT average scores from Magnificat students is BELOW the national average. The worst part (there are so many that it is hard to choose) has to be counseling. They will basically do with the kids what they see fit, and they always encourage the girls to aim LOWER rather than higher. I guess so that they look better. Sports are a joke too, now. RUN from this school ASAP. Read less
