From my experience on the Honors track with MyTrack Comp Sci & Engineering, the faculty and staff will do everything to help you learn. They're kind, understanding, but also tough in all the right places. You'll walk out smarter and more confident with life skills. Every year, theres improvement in different spaces and more ways to get involved. However, diversity is an issue in the sense of ethnicities and beliefs that dont align with popular culture. But, more people become open minded as the years go on and prospective st... read more

I had a great time at Padua. I was able to connect with new people and make some new friends. I was able to participate in athletics throughout the school year. I was also able to succeed academically even while taking challenging courses. The worst part of my experience was that I had to deal with COVID my sophomore year. That took away some of my learning and experiences. The only thing the school needs to change is that they need Air Conditioning!

After 4 years of attending a college-prep school, I can safely say that Padua has done an excellent job at preparing me for college. The councilor's guided me through the process of college admissions and made it as simple and stress free as possible. Most of the teachers are phenomenal as well. I’ve heard different war stories about some but most of my teachers have and do excel at their job. I can say that I’ve received a quality education from attending Padua and find it to be fairly affordable as well. It’s a great educa... read more

I love Padua and all the opportunities they have given me. I am apart of various clubs and varsity bowling. I am also apart of the theater tech crew. The only change I would like to see is a more openness toward lgbtq+ people.

As a current junior at Padua, my experience here has been nothing but extraordinary. I transferred in my sophomore year and from the start everyone, faculty and students were extremely welcoming. You constantly have support from those around you and your teachers are always encouraging you to do your best. The student engagement at this school is something I've not seen in any other student body. From the pep-rallys, the fun Christmas season, and all of the spirit weeks, its really something to marvel at. I really don't have... read more

Most schools will have their ups and downs and Padua is no exception. I loved the people at Padua, I have made many great friends and most people are very nice. Most teachers are willing to help, even if you aren't their student. There are things that I wish I could change, and there are some rules that students try to change that the faculty just won't hear them out.

My experience at padua Franciscan high school has been nothing but amazing. for starters the teachers there are impeccable. I like learning from them because they treat us like actual people not just like children. every teacher at padua tries to help students learn the way they are comfortable with. The school itself is amazing. we have lots of masses, rally’s, assembly’s and other fun activities to keep us entertained. I feel like the school tries to keep the students excited to come in every day for school. Since my fresh... read more

I received an excellent education. I think the teachers and students are respectful and mature. I think that the school falls short in assisting in the college search and preparing for applications.
