I have been going to The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot School since preschool, and I am now a senior there. Even as a non-Catholic (I'm agnostic), I have always had a wonderful experience there. I have become very close with the staff and lifelong friends with many of the students. The faculty always goes the extra mile to make students feel taken care of, and the outdoor campus provides for a refreshing break in between classes.

This school is very clique-y . It's hard for new students to fit in. Even I have been going here since pre school and I don't have a friend group. Most people will act nice to your face but then gossip about you. Very little diversity; most everyone has the same personality and interests, so there's almost no point in trying to make new friends. Bullying does exist at this school but admin pretends it doesn't. Discipline is inconsistent. The only thing you will really get in trouble for is a uniform violation. Clubs are almost non existent. Lunches are overpriced for what they are. Religion classes have started to drive me away from the catholic faith. The academics here are pretty good. Most teachers are average. In general, the environment is pretty safe. Sports are overrated and I've seen a lot of bad sportsmanship, which is why I would never join a team sport here. Overall, not a great experience here.

Could work on the bullying mostly in the prep school area, the school in unique in that many attended since they were children, so everybody is familiar and friendly to each other, I would choose this school for the environment it provides and how open everything is.

I cannot say enough good things about this school. The kids, teachers and staff are amazing. We are so happy we made the switch from another private school in the area. It is like night and day. So welcoming and warm.

BSH is a special place with a values-based curriculum and a spirit that is unique in today's world. With small class sizes and instruction led by a top-notch faculty it creates a nurturing environment with challenging academics and a sense of family and community that just does not exist in many sch...
