My overall experience at Bishop O'Dowd has been very transforming. Starting out as a freshman, I was nervous about making friends and being accepted, however there is much diversity and clubs to engage in to make new friends.

O'Dowd staff, coaches, and students are all friendly. Homework seems to be a lot, however the school offers plenty of assistance in the form of peer tutoring, office hours, and flexibility homework submission policies.

We've been really pleased with our first year at this school. Our son was initially unsure because most of his friends went to different high schools. But BOD seems to have the perfect balance of academics and athletics for him, and we are particularly impressed with the school communications and ac...
