Being a junior at Bishop Kelley is everything normal plus a little weird and off-putting. I would say its a good highschool in terms of being a private catholic highschool but I do have a problem with equality. I am a person of color and I do not consider myself as smart as many would like to think I am. That doesn't mean you should treat me lesser than you would any other person of color, or any person at all. This school is dominated by white supremacists and people that I love so I wouldn't know what to say about that aspect. All I want is to be treated equally and to be acknowledged. I don't think it's something that can be fixed THAT easily so overall I think Bishop Kelley is a 8/10. (love most of the staff!)

I was a transfer student to Bishop Kelley my sophomore year and it has been a wonderful experience for me. I'm challenged in many areas, but we are very tight knit Community where building Godly environment and growing in Christ is a priority to all of us. The goal of the staff is to make sure when we leave school and we are ready for the next chapter whether it be entering the workforce or bridging to college

I love BK. I have always dreamed of loving school, and BK makes it easy to do so. It is challenging, but I know it is always worth it in the end. All the teachers are super supporting in every way!! I would recommend BK to any family of any kind, everyone fits in. Also, they are currently renovating buildings, but the campus is gorgeous. Best high school experience I could ask for!

My son comes home from school everyday happy. He loves his friends and teachers. He challenges himself in his courses and having friends who are likeminded encourages this attitude toward learning. The football program is wonderful and competitive.

School actively demeans childrens for their weaknesses as a part of their religion, expecting "God to support them". I think all competent individuals understand what the purpose of these schools are for vulnerable children. Those who can use the church possibly could succeed, but most will be taken...

Overall, I would say BK is geared toward athletes. If you are not one don't attend this school. They also have numerous lunches and they change every 9 weeks. If you are new and not Catholic good luck in finding friends. The lunch schedule makes it impossible to keep them. Also, they have a huge cur...

I had 4 children attend Bishop Kelley High School. They are all four different in their interests & personalities. All found their niche & all had many friends & were surrounded with caring teachers and coaches.
