I think that Bishop Kelly has done a good job with preparing me for college. The teachers and staff care about me and strive for me to do good. I am challenged at the school and forced to go out of my comfort zone, but it has allowed me to grow tremendously and I can confidently say I am ready for college.

Bishop Kelly is a great school if you are looking to improve your mind, body, and spirit. Compared to all the other schools in the valley, BK by far the cleanest and safest. They provide the best learning experience and prepare everyone for college.

Bishop Kelly High School is, simply put, a community. When entering high school as a young person, it is safe to say that most everyone was anxious of the unknown. However, just from my first day at BK I discovered a warm and inviting community where the teachers will go to bat for you and you will make friends that will last your entire time at the school. I am and will always be very proud to call myself a knight.

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!
