"Bullying, racism, and immaturity is beyond horrendous here. There are a few who are very mature, and the rest are immature boys. The majority of teachers play favorites here. Choir program sucks. No connections with the city's vast educational institutions like Hunter, NYU, Columbia and etc. Xavier High School is only great for those who.... 1) Play Sports 2) Are immature, expecting to become mature men when graduating. 3) Good Academics There are a couple of closeted LGBT Students and they always tell me that it is not safe to come out in a environment like Xavier. Xavier is not very accepting and open or liberal as you want it to be."

"Xavier is the second best Catholic High School in New York after Regis. 1400 kids compete for 250 seats each year. 99.5% go on to 4 year colleges and universities including 9 to IVY schools in 2011 along with 7 to West Point. It looks like the few "sour grapes" who tried to pan it here probably failed out or never embraced 170 years of academic excellence that include US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, NYC Mayor Jimmy Walker, Jersey City Mayor Jeremiah Healy, NBC personalities Al Roker and Mike Gargiuolo, Anheuser Busch President Pat Stokes, and FOX 5 journalist Mike Sheehan as grads. The school is a Blue Ribbon School with a nationally ranked JROTC program, Rugby Team, and a band that twice was named best marching unit. If you can match that history with any other school in NYC, I am all ears."

"Xavier is a legend in its own mind. The negative reviews speak the truth: it is far from what it presents itself to be. Living off an undeserved reputation - as if it still is what it was in the 30s-60s. It ceased being a real Catholic school by the early 70s. They used to have 40 Jesuits; now perhaps 3 on faculty (if that....). They only care about the football gods & apple polishers. Oh, its a breeding ground for the elite....and the self-serving. The oppressive amount of homework will not make you a better person, nor will it 'educate' you. Honesty is punished; be warned! Faculty is mostly these due to friends in the alumni office or administration, not because of quality. And all they want from you is money, money & more money. As an alumnus, I know! Save your $$; go to Bronx Science or Stuyvesant. You will be glad you did."

"I am currently a sophomore at Xavier now and I would definitely reconsider going here. I hate this school. Its filled with a bunch of tools and stuck up white kids. Also the teachers want you to have no social life what so ever judging by the amount of homework the give a night. Unless you want your son doing at least 3 hours of homework a night. Also they are really quick to kick you out. If your grades start slipping they will kick you out at anytime and leave stuck trying to find somewhere to go in the middle of the year. And they always talk about being such a great Jesuit school meanwhile we don't get off for any of the holy days of obligation. So while your friends from catholic school are off you will be in school. Definitely reconsider!"

"how does this awful school hold on to 5 stars. they have ruined my self esteem. they have taken away my confidence. No teacher takes an interest in the students unless they are the popular athletes. I am so unhappy here. Look somewhere else. You will be happy you did"
