My two children have been at HTS for 3 years now and love the school. Notable strengths include the strong sense of community and supportive teachers and staff, and low student-to-teacher ratio. This is a school that really cares about the children it educates and is constantly striving to meet their

We have loved HTS. We are a Navy family and the principal went out of her way to help get us set up in the school and feeling comfortable. The parish has a warm, but traditional feel to it. The priest is young, energetic, and is really easy to talk to-- and also very supportive of Navy families.

HTS is small, but we love that about it. The instruction in the classroom is really good and you can see that when you walk through the halls. The students are so respectful. Mass each weeks helps them be exposed to the Catholic religion and the Bible, which we like even though we are Baptist. Read less

Holy Trinity School is such a great community! I love that the students are in a strongly Catholic program. Mass every week is something the students don't even complain about, there are daily prayers, and the priest is available to the school and takes his time for the school. The connected parish

A smaller school, which has some limitations with sports, but we love the small class sizes and hands-on attention. The principal does a great job with the administration. We just love it. Read less

I wish more parents knew what an advantage the small classes at Holy Trinity provide--the student/teacher ratio is such a strong factor in academic success. Especially if parents knew what their children really had to deal with in Norfolk's public middle schools...Holy Trinity provides a safe, nurturing

We chose Holy Trinity as a school primarily because it is connected to a Catholic parish and the kids go to Mass each week (the other Catholic school we would have used only goes to Mass once a month or so) and that really mattered to us. The teachers are strong and classes small. My only complaint

I changed my daughter to Holy Trinity from Northside ISD. I thought this school would be great. It is better by far. No fights, drugs etc. But if you are new the students & teachers can be difficult. I have had to have several words with teachers and the principal. (when I can get them to return emails

Our son has attended Holy Trinity going on four years. The entire staff makes it a point to know all of the students by name as well as their parents. Personalized attention is always present and the select limited class size helps. Their education program has been excellent and structured. We are

My son is in Pre-K (3) and loves it. The class is big enough for him to have lots of company but small enough not to feel lost in the crowd. He likes that there is a theme each week and the songs, painting, stories, etc., follow the theme. I like that his teacher successfully taught the children to

I also like that the school is not open for all to walk in the front door. His teacher walks the class (in line) to meet the parents at the front door and doesn't let them leave until she sees that the parent is there to pick them up. Read less
