Walsh is a great school for the super motivated, high academic acheivers. However, for the slightly above average student, there are better options. First, the grading scale is higher than at any public school. A kid receiving a 84 on an exam will get a C at Walsh while his public school counterpart
... Read more will receive a B. This public school counterpart will soon be the competition for admission and merit aid to many of the same colleges. Hence, the Walsh kid will loose out on the basis of cumulative GPA. However, Walsh claims that the colleges adjust for the more rigorous grading scale, which is absolute nonesense. College guidance at Walsh is terrible. The one person running the college guidance office is incompetent and gives terrible college advice. Politics always plays a part in school decisions from who makes the team to admissions to senior recognition. Read less

the school saved my life. I was sent to the 'all boy school' as a punishment. I graduated with honors, and now, 18 years later, am making a 7 figure salary. The teachers really want the students to succeed. They really care.

I just graduated Walsh Jesuit in 2006 and it was the worst experience for me. I hated the whole program. The only reason I stayed was because of the students there. But I hated the way the school was ran, and I hated the faculty. If I could go back I would have gone to Archbishop Hoban.

As a recent gradute of Walsh Jesuit, I can say that it was a great experience. The teachers are highly qualified, but also friendly, and on the level with the students; they do not act as supreme rules, rather they connect with us. Through this connection, we, the students enjoy the classes. The discipline

The College guidance program was outstanding, and informed me of everything I need to know to get into the great school that I did. My only con of the school is that I could not be there for longer. I will always be thankful to Walsh as I will owe all of my future successes to it. Read less
