all my fam has gone there great school to learn about your cathlic faith and great school for sports and education
I would not recommend. If you are not a generation of families that have attended the school they do not care about your child. They decide their own way to discipline kids who test positive for drugs. There is no consistency on how they discipline the kids who are caught. It's all about who you know and if your child is able to play sports. It is not worth the money. The area has gone down hill
My family has been going here forever, my grandma actually went to sacred heart when it was open and her picture is still there today. A lot of people may say that they don't recommend for selfish or just plain idiotic reasons, but honestly if I went anywhere else my life would have been different in a very horrible way.
I'm happy I'm catholic now, but they turned me off for many years. I will never recommend this school based off how they treat the "mentally challenged children" out there like they are some diseased cattle, SMH! Shame on you for not loving, caring and accepting children that sometimes have issues because we live in a world that things aren't perfect. neither are you, you might have the number 1 listing in high schools but ew how you talk to others with "issues". This is not catholic, this is cafe catholic and thinking you're better than others.
I personally have no idea about the school, but I will tell you acouple short experiences with why they are a number 1 school. They pick their students. This school doesn't allow mentally challenged children and/or any other challenged children unless if you're talking about academically. The parish is the same way, they have put me off completely. I was actually thinking of taking it up with the Bishop of the ArchDiocence. Being rude to parents if their child has 'issues' that take them a slower amount of time in learning. IF they would've said in a kind, calm way, "Oh, I'm sorry. It takes a lot of time and money (and whatever else) to help the "slower children" so therefore we don't have that, so we don't have the excess for your child. Thank you though, God bless you!" Instead they say it like (rude, turned off tone), "Ohh, you mean she has issues? Like what? Oh no, we don't have time for all that." click excuse me what? I'm sure it's a bit more dramatic, it was said to me from a friend, but I've had 3 bad experiences with the school and parish. And, of all things the parish is named St. Jude. I personally think they should change the parish name, St. Jude is the patron saint for Patron of Desperate causes, desperate situations, lost causes. And, they just don't hold to their name.
wow. what a pitiful school. i would give zero stars if I could, or maybe just a half star for the papa johns pizza on wednesdays. as a current senior, i can give my personal thoughts on this place by being current and up to date about all of the happenings. first of all, guiance counselors do NOT HELP YOU. do not expect to be able to go to them for help because they will give you a partial answer or give you no advice at all. freshman year i had decided that i was interested in a future in theater and my counselor had told me that there would be no way that i could do that. aren't guidance counselors supposed to aid students in their future goals? children need to be supported with their endeavors, not pushed down at an attempt to determine what their future holds. every single extra curricular at this school is rigged, having nothing to do with talented students and giving the majority of the spots to people who have money or have a well known last name within the Roncalli "family". cheerleaders and football players were recently put on probation because of a party that got busted with alcohol. so if you saw roncalli football players and cheerleaders standing on the side lines this year, that is why. 25% of the season or run for the track season - what a PUNishment. many students get slapped on the hand for events that should have disciplinary actions taken instead. and in other cases, disciplinary action is just unnecessary. for example, in the past week, there has been a student that was suspended for two days due to him 1) changing lockers (a task that is frequently done by students) and 2) putting about 50 of the new "child of God" magnets inside of his locker. this was looked upon as having possession of school property. a 2 day suspension is a larger level of punishment than being caught cheating twice. cell phones that go off once in class and are confiscated by a teacher will caused the owner a three day in school suspension and percentage points off of their final grade in every class. they recently implemented a rule that you are unallowed to cut the lunch line or you will get a detention. literally, a detention for walking in the lunch line. i understand that cutting in the lunch line isn't right but the way to stop that is not to threaten a detention for it. anything disciplinary that has to do with football players or students with wealthy families usually gets overlooked. the main music teacher Joey Newton does not allow students with real talent to receive solos and chooses people based on his favorites. the foreign languages program needs some major help, especially in spanish. i am very thankful that i have already finished my three years that are necessary because being in a foreign language was a hectic mess. in three years, i had 6 teachers. SIX TEACHERS!!!! that is absolutely insane. i have no idea how i was able to learn along with all of the other kids in the classes with me. the difference between an honors level class and a college prep class is very drastic. college prep students are usually working on topics covered within the first month of school for honors students and will barely get to half of the information that is covered by honors level students. the grading scale is also incredibly preposterous. notes have to be sent to colleges along with applications that our grading scale is harder. why does a school keep a grading scale at a hard level? a 3.5 gpa will equate to a 4.0 at a local public school, possibly even higher than that. children become easily frustrated at the inability to succeed here, especially if they are not good at school anyways. there is not much diversity at this school. foreign and african american students equate for approximately 6% of the student body. students are racist and tend to swear throughout the day and that is why we have posted all around the school encouraging us to use other words instead of swear words. many students do drugs or vape or smoke, other things that are not to be allowed at Roncalli.
