"My family has had an amazing experience at St. Michael's. We have one graduate, a senior, and a junior.--eleven total years of wonderful experiences. The faculty and staff love their students and therefore become like family. It is always a treat to see these happy kids released from class at the end of their day, scurrying to so many after school sports and activities. We have loved every day at SMCA!!"

"The name SMCA is less of associated with academic success and more with social status. If you do not live in the Westlake area, do not have an iPhone and do not have your own car, you will not be accepted by the majority of students. The school has a very elitist student body and even most of the teachers as well. This elitist nature really does effect the experience. If you are not one of the rich families at SMCA, do not expect most of the teachers to care about your success. If you do not play any sports at all, be prepared to have a horrible high school experience here anyway. Athletics at SMCA is the most funded extracurricular, while other extracurricular programs (such as band and tech) are left with very little. This school is obsessed with it's reputation and administrative decisions are made for the better of the school, not the student."

"I agree with the review posted on July 15th, 2010 completely. You do get ignored and shunned out if you don't play volleyball or football. Of course, no one's rude enough to you for you to say anything about it, but you can sense the hostility. I don't feel welcome at SMCA, and I can't believe I chose to come here. I regret applying to St. Michael's. Thankfully, I will not be at SMCA much longer. Despite the Rachel's Challenge Program initiated to encourage people to treat each other with kindness, hardly anything has changed. Most of the students are fake and mean, and the whole 'nice' act is sickening, which just goes to show that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

"While the academics are excellent for the most part, my daughter's peers are extremely mean to her. She's only staying at St. Michael's for the good education, most definitely not for the rude and cruel people that treat her unkindly. We can't wait to leave. SMCA is extremely clique-oriented, and many people who attend SMCA have admitted that it's full of many horrible, mean, conniving, fake people."

"St. Michael's is a great school. The academics are challenging but you will be ready for the future! The parents, teachers and students are very involved in this wonderful community. 70% of the students play sports but if you do not ,there is band and the theatre group is top rate. Our two children love SMCA. Life is what you make it. ST. Michael's makes it great!"
