4/1/2025
Don Bosco Prep had been an excellent school for my boys! The leadership at this school does a great job developing boys into young men. It's not a coed school so this is the only issue I have so my recommendation would be to create a girls school that follows the same model of the 4 pillars they believe in.
12/3/2024
The past four years of my life have been filled with joy and gratitude due to being a student at Don Bosco Prep. The brotherhood that I have gained goes without saying.
7/20/2024
I have greatly enjoyed my experience at Don Bosco Prep. I am envolved in many activities throughout the school. I enjoy the rigorous courses and fun activities that the school has to offer. The only thing that I dislike is that the day starts very early. Even so, I would prefer to get out of school earlier rather than later. Overall, I am very happy with my experience at Don Bosco Prep and don't believe that any change is necessary.

They don’t tell you, but Don Bosco is a trap attracting students due to its “beautiful college campus” setting. As much as the school is nice, it is the worst for those who have an aspiring future at any elite college. #1 there is a huge BULLYING issue. Being all boys there are a lot of horrible kid...
5/26/2025
Worst experience ever! The support system at Don Bosco is awful and they don’t support those with aspirations of getting into top colleges like Ivy leagues. If you are not favored, you don’t succeed. Huge favoritism also occurs regarding placement in AP classes or honor societies. Do not go here, wa...

Life changer!!!! The greatest decision I ever made was to attend this school. The faculty and staff truly care for the students and push them to learn positively. The academic programs are second to none while supporting a strong sports culture. You must maintain academic standards to play sports un...

The most impactful circumstance affecting our son’s education is best understood when contrasting the public school he initially attended versus the school he then transferred into, Don Bosco. It is unusual in the sense that his previous public school was once regarded as one of the best public scho...
