Father Ryan is an excellent school and community member. They do a great job of providing a nurturing environment for students to flourish bot academically and spiritually. Their importance of service to the community is fantastic and helps prepare their students to become responsible adults that give back to their community. I have had two children attend Father Ryan and I couldn't imagine a better place for them to have attended to prepare them for college and adult life.

Father Ryan has been a nurturing, caring educational environment for both of my children. They have different aptitudes and interests and have been met where they are and pushed to excel in an environment built on the mission of the school.

As a senior at Father Ryan, I have experienced the good and the bad over the past 4 years. The school atmosphere, teachers, academics, athletics, extra curriculars are amazing and make everyday great. However, the administration is lacking in many ways.

In all three cases, the faculty and staff have gone out of their way to ensure that all three of my chi...

I interviewed to be a high school science/biology teacher at Father Ryan. I was incredibly pleased by the interview and the kindness I was met with. This was until I heard nothing about the interview and whether I would be moving forward as a hire or not. I, more than once asked and was met with "I...

It is hard for me to understand how they can support staff that don't follow catholic values. Even more frustrating is when you take your concerns to school leaders and they leave you with no response. At the very least a "We're looking into this" would do. But that doesn't happen with Father Ryan.
