Some call it a hidden gem, but we think that there are quite a few discriminatory reasons why their classes aren't always full (one class last year only had 4-5 kids...).

It was a small enough class size that, during my four years, there would be times when I would have either one other person in a certain class or I would be by myself. On the fun side, we would usually have a holiday party right before Winter Break for students and families, which was always a great way for the school community to come together every year.

The school is VERY small, and it offers the opportunity for kids in the 7th grade to interact with kids in their senior year. I had classes that ranged from 6-8 kids per instructor to 2 kids per instructor. Generally speaking, it's an exclusive private school, as expected, but I had classmates that were very bright, but had been kicked out of public schools. They were rare, but still there, but at no time was I worried about my safety, if I lived in Pittsburgh, I would feel safe sending my kids here. It's been so many years, I can't say for sure if it is still awesome, but check it out. Oh, and Mr. Rogers used to come by often to see the Headmistress. What an amazing person he was. RIP Mr. Rogers.

---Fish fry review---…read more I stopped by the fish fry at Sacred Heart in Shadyside last Fri. with a friend. I'd originally planned to visit one in Polish Hill, but I had an appointment after 5 and they stop serving at 6, so we decided to try Sacred Heart, which runs until 7:30, instead. As usual, I called in my order ahead of time, and it was taken and fulfilled with no hassles. When we showed up at 6, our food awaited us, so we paid and grabbed a seat. Both of us ordered the fried fish dinner ($9 each). Both came with sides of cole slaw, and I ordered mac and cheese as my second side, whereas my friend ordered fries. Like the fish fry at St. Raphael, the fish dinners here come with a dinner roll, but not as a sandwich. In terms of quality, the fish here was a cut below the fish at the last fry I attended (at St. Maria Goretti in Bloomfield)--it just wasn't as fresh. My friend said that he found the fish moister than the fish at the last fry we attended together (at Epiphany Uptown), and while this may have been true, freshness is the most important factor to me when judging the quality of fish. As for the sides, the cole slaw was of the creamy variety and was rather sweet (disclaimer: I'm not much of a fan of cole slaw in general), and the fries and mac and cheese were of average quality and were a bit scant in quantity. The one major redeeming factor of this fish fry--believe it or not--was the desserts. Although they were no doubt pre-made, they were presented very nicely, and were a cut above the lousy desserts at St. Raphael's. I had a slice of lemon meringue pie and my friend had a slice of blueberry ($2 each), and we both enjoyed them. For me, this was the high point of the meal. The environment and clientele of this fish fry reminded me a lot of St. Raphael--it's held in an elementary school cafeteria, and most of the clientele consisted of families with young children who probably attend the school. The priest came around and greeted all of the diners, including us, which was a nice touch. For me, this fish fry was just A-OK. If it's convenient in terms of location, then it's worth a try--otherwise, I'd recommend skipping it to try a better one, such as Swissvale VFD's.
