I have been at Austin Prep since 6th grade. I like that classes aren't too big, I like all the clubs and activities that are available and I like the sports programs. I also like that all the teachers provide any extra help you may need. It has been a great experience so far. I would like to see more flexibility in the uniform policy which is pretty strict.

The administration only cares about money not the students. Dress down days or spirit weeks they tell you what you can wear and then demand you pay money. Most of the faculty has students there that get special accommodations. Paying students are second class citizens. For being a Catholic School th...
