The best part of my experience at Bishop Kelly High School was truly the community there. Everyone was connected and knew everyone. I was a friendly environment and I really saw all of my peers and teachers as people that cared about me and that I trusted. The least enjoyable part of my experience there was probably the financial barrier. My parents and both sets of my grandparents helped me pay for my tuition at my Catholic High School while other students are very wealthy and easily able to pay for tuition I was not as wealthy. The wealth among the student body made me feel different than my peers and that was hard to navigate growing up.

The leadership (or lack thereof) at this school needs improvement. Phone calls and emails go unanswered. It seems they do not value their "customers" (paying parents) or appreciate parental involvement which I would think a faith-based school would actually encourage!
