The faculty and staff are very friendly and provide an overall positive environment. The atmosphere is very welcoming as well. The academics are superior and the faith-based school encourages students to share in their beliefs. The diversity within the school allows for new friendships to be made as well.

It's a great school. People who work there are nice and care about the students. They keep it clean and updated. I would say they need to add more foreign languages and that they need to get more diversity into the school. The drama department also is based on favoritism which needs to be changed as well.

The school definitely does well preparing you for college and it has many great school events. It is not very accepting towards the LGBTQ+ community though which needs to be changed. Teenagers should not grow up feeling they are awful people and should have the opportunity to take same sex dates to dances.

Honestly, I loved my school community at Padua! My teachers created an amazing learning environment and my peers were so kind. I could rely on people from my school for anything. I also just loved how much school pride everyone had and how we could gather as a community to pray together. I learned so much about myself and would definitely recommend this high school for anyone living in North East Ohio.
