    "My son came to Cathedral after finishing middle school at a private Catholic school (Cathedral was his choice). While Freshman year was an adjustment year (as I think is the case in ANY high school) he absolutely loves it. The campus is practically drug free and extremely safe. Weapons and gang activity are non-existent. To me that is worth all the money in the world. He is entering his Junior year this year and while he complains about the work load and too much testing, the knowledge he has gained there is evident to me when I talk with him about his classes. I must say he has had maybe two really bad teachers (one was his Spanish teacher who everyone seems to have a problem with) but that can happen in any school. My son's friends from Cathedral have spent a lot of time with our family and are the nicest kids I know and a joy to be around. The school has high standards and my son has risen to meet them, because that is what is expected of him. If all schools were like Cathedral, there would be a lot less troubled youth in this country. Great school, great principal and worth every cent in my opinion."

    "I enrolled my child to this school two years ago because I heard what a stellar arts program they had here. I was completely underwhelmed when I discovered that the arts teachers here are awful. I had high hopes for the first show and my daughter, an aspiring actress, was given a good role but it was detracted due to the other kids crazy ad lib and overall lack of talent. If you want a good arts program, do not sign your kid up here."

    "Awful teachers, awful students...AWFUL SCHOOL! Teachers are absolutely lazy and a bit too comfortable with their job security. My son went from a 4.0 student to a 2.8 by the time he was a sophomore. I originally thought it was his own laziness but then I conferred with the teachers who turned out to be laborious, shower students with unhelpful homework, and simply not teach. The people are also not the best, my son was bullied so often that he begged me to call in sick several times. What a worthless school. Don't put your hard-earned money in this school of disgusting snobs (in other words, San Diego's "elite")."

    "Cathedral Catholic is a school who's quality ranges on the opinions of the people. Personally, I find it a typical private school with my expectations dashed after the first few months of my daughter attending here. But I was sucked in to not transfer her (a down payment for the entire year to avoid a $100 extra for semester paying). The kids are supposed to get some "quality education" but their test scores are average and college attendance is rivaled by fellow private AND public schools. I checked their website and found that it almost seems like they are making themselves sound like a business rather than a school (some of their statements contradict each other: on one page of their cite it says the tuition is around 13 grand, while another says over 14 grand; their college attendance is also slightly elaborated upon saying that nearly 99% or higher attend college while another page totally contradicts this). Well that just proves that this school lies."

    "I can't even begin to explain my dissatisfaction with this school. Other kids at the school are not friendly, and making even small acquaintances is liking befriending a lion. Any other private (even public) school but this one! I want to transfer out but my parents won't let me (parents are under the impression that this is the school of successful Stanford-bound wealthy wonderful people...totally not true)"
