Bishop Kenny is a small school, it is great in that sense of how almost everyone knows everyone, the campus itself is not a new school but many of its classrooms have been recently updated, the staff is pretty nice however some of the higher level officials were sometimes slow to responding to certain actions or were not engaging much with the student body. Food is okay but not great and the cafeteria can get crowded.

Its a moderately okay school. Obviously its not perfect, as no school is, but its not the worst. I met my best friends through here, and the teachers a great. The counselors are not good though.
