I have had a good experience at Boylan Catholic High School. Starting freshman year, there was talk about college, future careers, and goals for the future. All four years there were workshops, career tests, college fairs, and more, in preparation for after high school. All students are informed with the college process so they are prepared for the next step in their life.

I had a fantastic career at Boylan, despite the issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic my first two years. The teachers and staff were kind, accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. The community was welcoming and tightly knit.

The people there are fantastic, and the honors curriculum really helped prepare me for college and earn me a lot of scholarships. However, some of their policies are old fashioned and exclusionary to groups of students.

I have been a Boylan parent since 1994. Tuition has gone up every year, making the choice to send my children to Boylan definitely a sacrifice. A text book buy back program as opposed to "renting " books, as well as the option to buy used uniforms ( many schools do a used uniform sale at the end of...
