Now as a student of Notre Dame High School since Grade 7, I definitely had ups and downs. Despite all of these reviews here, it's a good school sometimes. It's not the staff that makes people leave bad reviews about this place, it's their experience. Staff Members for the most part are good. Since I was a resource student here, I used their services a lot before Covid. Their services were excellent. From Mrs. Witt, to Mrs. Barlow, to even Mr. Gasper, they're not there to cause issues for the students, but instead do their best to support each and every student to boost the students confidence and help them with their assignments. As for the school portions, the hallways aren't always the safest. From my experience, there were always troublesome students, whether boys or girls, didn't matter. They misbehaved too much. I personally don't think that they mean to act this way, but they act this way because of their environment at home. I have the assumption that from how the students are treated at home, the students bring that lifestyle to school with them, which causes all of these fights, bullying, disruptions, damage, and even arrests in this school. This school has had plenty of issues with students, but I won't dive into that, that is for the readers to research. If the students are misbehaving, what I think teachers in this school should do is separate the students, because they are strong as a group, but weaker and more at solitude when they are alone. Going back to my experience, I felt some of this bullying, and it hurt. As if I recommend this school, that is up to you, as you may have a good experience that I had, or a bad experience like others have had. Regardless, it's a good school, and if I have kids in the future, I will definitely send them here, hoping their high school life will be as good as mine (This Review has been written by Notre Dame Graduate, Liam Boland)

I went to this school from grade 7 - 12 , I had a horrible experience in grade nine that they completely hid under wraps. They hired a man named Ted Erland as our grade 9 academic math teacher in 2017. If you google Ted Erland he’s known for texting students at another Catholic highschool in Kanata about how he had a huge “crush” on them. Instead of firing him they moved him to notre dame with these news articles existing. As our math teacher he always made excuses like “there’s gonna be a supply I have surgery” we only had not a supply about once a month. This led to me having constant math issues through my high school experience as my grade nine foundations made no sense to me. I’m posting this review because this was covered under wraps entirely by the Catholic board , even at the time I remember asking my teachers if anything was going to be done and they all just told me they “ didn’t know ” and I think the public deserves to know about this. I would never put my own kids here.

As a student who's soon to graduate from Middle School, I might as well write this review. This school has some teachers that you'll like but the VP's aren't the greatest, they're a little blind when it comes to situations that I won't discuss and their ideas are terrible in which they made a time for when Library is available for us when it used to be available at any moment. Fighting is such a big thing in the school and if you're that kind of person who needs to ventilate your anger on people, go ahead this is the school for you plus the school is filled with jocks so have fun competing against others in Basketball. Overall, I would NOT recommend this school to anybody for my reasons.

In that high school, I love mrs feeney’s art class because we get to do lots of fun drawings on our sketchbook and we also get to do any black and white pictures and make them in colour on a website called Pixlr. My art class also went to a field trip to 2 national art galleries in Rideau centre of downtown and we saw lots of strange art that never happened in real life and it’s kind of cool when me and my class seen lots new art pictures and details on some of them I like with those artists that they’ve made, like I’ve only been to a field trip with Notre dame high school the first time.

Went to this school when I was younger and I only stayed for one semester. There is 3 fights every time lunch happens, there are fights after school. The staff seem like they do not care about their students they just get a paycheck and go home. The students also trash the shopping mall nearby the minute they get out of school. Absolutely avoid this school I think it's the worst school Ottawa has, there are many other schools I've been to same with friends growing up and they have fond memories. I have no good memories with Notre Dame.

Hell no, I don’t know what these comments are saying the school is great no it’s not who paid yall. parents listen. STAY AWAY from this school if you don’t want your child to get into Fights, Harassment Everywhere. Please just stay away from that school. Just like no. My brothers life is ruined because of this school. He was excited and was so cheerful until he trusted that stupid social worker I’ll never forget that woman who ruined his life. bad influence, was harassed, bullied and almost beaten up.

I played this game in the hall with my friend which was basically try not to get literally obliterated and it was very intense. Why? Well it was basically an unpredictable moving obstacle course. You never knew what was coming next. You stand still for too long you get pushed into a locker. You move to fast you fall. You try to move at good pace you die. And this is just in the 7/8 hall. Its a scary world in there.

Notre Dame High School is truly a wonderful school! The staff members are so kind, supportive and want the best for the students. There are so many extra curricular activities for students in sports, the arts, leadership, academics, and more. Everyone at ND fosters a caring and healthy learning environment for students to grow, succeed and be the best they can be!
