James Lawson High School

I am very pleased with the level of education that this school is providing to my child and think that the teachers and adminstration truly care about the students success. I also feel that many of the parents get involved and it shows through the participation in many of the extracurricular activities that I have attended; from the school dance, career day, the hound dog run, and more. This school provides a great education for my children and a great community/environment for them to learn in. Keep up the great work Hound Dogs!

Our family moved from out of state and enrolled at Saint Henry School during the middle of a school year, and our experience has been very positive! The community is the largest Catholic grade school in Nashville with three homerooms per grade. Saint Henry's offers small-group enrichment (grade school) and differentiated learning (middle school) for students working at an accelerated pace. A resource team, including a full-time counselor, is available for students who need additional support. Students at Saint Henry have homework every night and the teachers work together to ensure students are not overburdened. Work assigned is always meaningful; never "busy work." The teachers truly care about each student and his/her success, and the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecelia are a wonderful example of the Catholic faith in practice. The school recently renovated its science labs with state-of-the-art equipment and implemented a new curriculum with a focus on hands-on learning. Saint Henry School really shines in its fine arts offerings from the annual (Disney Junior) musical theater production to the fine arts classroom complete with a kiln! All students are exposed to music education through concert band, handbell choir, guitar, or voice. Of course, no review would be complete without commentary on the cafeteria, and my children rave about the offerings. Finally, because we were curious, most of Saint Henry's graduates continue on to Catholic high schools, namely St. Cecelia (all girls) and Father Ryan (co-ed).

Wonderful. As explained above, there are so many amazing things going on in this little community that our family loves being a part of it.
