I graduated a long time ago, and sometimes I still think of how awful my experience was there. Everything about it. I remember teachers picking favorites, coaches taking things way too seriously for just being kids. I'm having issues making friends because I didn't attend a private school beforehand
Posted by a community member on 4/2/2026I am an alumni and Father Ryan. My child was very unhappy there for two years. My child took 2 years of Spanish at a parochial school and then 4 years of Spanish at Father Ryan. He could not speak a word. Instead of teaching him how to incorporate the language, he was learning vocabulary or punctuat
Posted by a parent on 11/29/2025The worst private school in Nashville. There are so many great private school choices in the Nashville area. Please do not consider this school. You would be better served looking elsewhere. This school does nothing to nurture the Individual child. Will not work with families, and will not treat chi
Posted by a parent on 10/12/2025I’m a current student at Father Ryan and I feel so depressed here. They always say their motto is “known and loved” but I literally feel the exact opposite. The school is pretty big and I’ve had a pretty hard time making any friends at all. I feel like just a few weeks after your freshman year, ever
Posted by a student on 7/25/2025I have been a parental member of Father Ryan for over 13 years.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagehi! let me start off by saying i wouldnt really call this school good. i used to be a student here and it was awful. i got bullied SO much every day because of my differences. every single day my mental health got worser and worser. they gossip about diverse & disabled people (right infront of the teachers), and no one does anything. i really dont understand how the people here just casually brush bad things off?? racism, ableism, etc was heard AND wasnt taken care of. im disappointed to be honest. only a few teachers were nice heresooo id say this school is not recommendedOther Review11mo ago - Glendale Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have 2 children at Glendale and we have been thrilled with their experience over the last 5 years. The school is safe, focuses on kindness and respect for other cultures, and the children get an incredible education. We feel like it is the best elementary school in Nashville, and are grateful to have gotten in. The parents are super involved and supportive. Really amazing school!Parent Review3y ago - St. Edward School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI think this school is great for a typical child but sadly the Solly school charges 3x thr normal tuition for a child with special needs. Seems like a money grab to me. The purpose of education should be about integrating all children and providing individual supports. Not keeping children with special needs separate....do better LAParent Review3y ago - The Oak Hill School
