John bapst, in reality, is a decent school. I think they benefit from international students the most since their fees are much higher, but the administration never uses that to fix the broken leaking pipes. Overall the teachers are nice and helpful, but I wouldn't say this is a "prep school" like they claim to be, since they don't really prepare students for university and don't help students ta study for their SATs or anything

What they are better at is promoting what they do well and hiding what they don't. When one hides problems, one can not address and f...
