Padua franciscan high school Review

Padua has been an amazing experience for me. The teachers/staff are always willing to help out and I truly feel like part of the "Padua Family".

Padua is a faith filled school where everyone feels welcome. The Franciscan Way is evident in the day to day and my kids have truly enjoyed attending.

I left a 5 star rating in 2015 when our oldest was a junior. In 2017, I am back to offer comment that Padua is worth it. The education, support, and college prep training allowed her to earn full tuition to the college of her choice. Our youngest is attending Padua now. We can see him on the same path. Community spirit, love, faith and family are only a few of the tremendous core foundation and values you will experience at this extraordinary school.

Exceptional school and overall great educational environment. Many great students come from this school, and more importantly great people. Excellent college acceptance rate, stability amongst faculty and staff. Would highly recommend.

I love the school and more importantly so does my child. He's excited every morning and thinks it's great.

This is our 8th year as a Padua Franciscan family. This is a WONDERFUL school, both academically and spiritually. I love the fact that so many of the teachers and administrators are Padua alumni.

My son is doing really well here, If he doesn't do well then they will tell me and he will let me know too but he is not the kind of kid that struggles in school. He loves his teachers and hes playing sports.

Extremely rude staff and teachers. They wanted me for a teaching job and the day of the interview, the lady had to cancel. They rescheduled and I called their office the following day to make sure they really wanted to do it. The office acted like it was a chore for them when I asked them if the interview was still on. They told me that the interview was cancelled again. This time it was when I was in my car and halfway to the interview site. BTW, during the whole process they tried to hide their name the whole time by saying that they were hiring for a "private school in Parma." Now I know why they tried so hard to be anonymous. Send your kids to a public school, there are many better schools such as Shaker, Mayfield, Orange, Solon. All of those are free and are rated much higher than this horrid school.

As an alumni, employee and current parent of a sophomore, I am proud to be a part of the Padua family! Students receive an excellent education that will prepare them for college. Franciscan values and the importance of community are taught and modeled by faculty and staff.

As a parent of three young men who graduated from Padua, I can attest that they were well prepared for college and the world beyond. All three have wonderful and diverse careers that they enjoy.
