As a graduate I am fully beginning to realize just what this school has done for me. The teachers and staff make themselves available inside and outside of an academic setting and their concern for the best of the students is very clear. As a current university student I can tell you that what Jesuit
... Read more has done for me is utterly invaluable; the overwhelming majority of the work I have done in my first two years of university have mainly been review from what I did at my last two years at Strake. The facilities are top notch and continue to improve as Fr. Lahart, Scalzitti and countless others completely dedicate themselves to ensure that Strake Jesuit is a shining star in Houston. The legacy there is impressive, and I will do everything possible to make sure my sons will attend Jesuit. Read less

Is your son brilliant & need a challenge? Is you son an overachiever but works hard to make B's? Is your son a bright kid but an underachiever? All these students are well served by Jesuit. The first two types of students because they will be challenged, while the last (which is my son) will do

This school has its priorities mixed up. They care more about how they appear, like their facilities and smartboards, then they do about the students. The teachers also care more about whether your wearing a belt, or if your shirt is tucked in, than they do about actually teaching you. The bottom line
