My duaghter graduated from BK, I was NOT IMPRESSED at all with college prep. Couselors did very little to assist the students and had a lack of information regarding college entrance, scholorships available etc. My son now attends BK there are new couselors which appear to be a bit more knowledgeable

Although some teachers are great and enjoy working with children you can easily identify the teachers who NEED TO LEAVE. If I had to do it all over again I would NOT send my children to BK. The cost of education is outrageous considering the limited academics. Students can gain a broader more diversed and well rounded education at a public school. BK prides itelf with a dress code for students, teachers need to be informed to dress to the same standards! Read less

I am a current parent at Bishop Kearney, and I am very impressed with it. My daughter graduated from Siena and wanted to go here, but I didn't want her to because of the SAT scores.

So far I have enjoyed my stay at BK. Some of the students are way too 'party people' and don't care at all about grades or what college they go to. At least there are other students like myself who do-I communicate with them very well. There are a few very good teachers I have had the pleasure of
