Incarnate Word High School

"My daughter attended this school for 2 yrs and it was absolutely the worst decision I made for her. The school lacks leadership, shows favouritism and my daughter spent 2 yrs being demoralised by one of the teachers who headed the choir program. She was criticised, demoralised and had a terrible experience. When we raise young girls to be strong women we lift them up we don't pull them down. This school lacks the insight of what young girls need to be successful in todays society. It may offer offer a challenging academic curriculum but it is out of touch with the realities and changes taking place around it. It lacks dynamism and instills shame. I would not recommend it to any parent that wants to raise a daughter who embraces her individuality and identity. It focuses on conformity and shame. Education is more than academics its about addressing the emotional needs of young women and freedom to express themselves. Academic support was poor and the school lacks a nurturing approach. I removed my daughter in Junior yr and she attended Antonian High school. She found herself again became happy and excelled."

"Great education obtained here and lots of guidance for Young women. High success rate of college graduation. I went here as well as my nieces and great nieces."

"I had to update this review after being graduated for 4 years now. In hindsight, this school means a lot to me. They push you hard on work that's extremely difficult until you succeed, they teach you how to time handle and maximize productivity through direct practice, the schedule was exactly like a college one, I learned to love the uniform because I stopped waking up early to find what to wear, the sisterhood wasn't a myth, they allow SO MANY school holidays and on Halloween you're able to dress on your costume and compete in a competition as well as find out who won the door decorating contest, most of the teachers are actually there because they care, and my absolute favorite part is the promotion of female empowerment on a constant. I tried to hate this school because it was private and all girls and what not but it's taught me so much and I'm a different and more prepared strong woman now with help from their teachings. I also got to live in Japan junior year because of this school and that's amazing. I recommend this school 100%"

"Racist school. Administrators unable to resolve any problems. School bends rules for people who donate money. Athletic department is a joke. Enrollment at an all time low. Save your money for a better private school."

"A school that provides the best environment to cultivate the best in its students. Everything from the academics, to the extracurriculars, and the commitment and hard work of the faculty and staff. More than just a school, it’s a “Shamrock” community — a family."
