Walsh Jesuit High School

Bullying, classism, and racism are serious issues with the students at this school. Diversity does not exist here. Overall, I found the majority of the staff to be supportive and engaged, and my son's teachers seemed to care about his success, but the students are problematic. My son, who is white, witnessed several of his peers openly and publicly mock and tease the (very, very few) black students over their race on numerous occasions and nobody intervened. My son had a real problem with this, but felt that he couldn't stand up to these kids because he was also being bullied because of his appearance and personality, which (thankfully) did not fit in with the other kids. He is an artist, didn't fit in with the athletes and was therefore insignificant. If your child is rich, white, and thrives off of inflicting misery unto others, I recommend this school 100%. If you want to raise a child with a more open view of the world they exist in, look elsewhere.

Bullying is an ongoing issue at this school. My comments on public review forums such as google reviews are often removed by the school.

Walsh Jesuit strongly emphasizes the school's motto 'Men and Women for Others'. This message could not be more relevant or timely.

Prepared me very well for college and beyond. Proud grad.

Academics are quite strong. Students come from a wide range of areas, which makes socializing outside of school difficult for many. Student body seems made up mostly of cliques. Athletics are decent, especially the female sports programs and baseball. Politics are heavily involved in most all of the school's decisions. Support staff is virtually nonexistent. IEP's? No. They have unlicensed people in some positions, though the teachers for the most part are highly effective.
