Visual & Performing Art Magnet

Our experience here with my 1st grader was not a good one. He was bullied daily for being white. He absolutely hated going to school which was a huge shift from the previous school we had came from. The kids would pick on him and take his things and nothing by the school administration was done about it. I did not feel that they helped him with his transition. The staff wasn't very friendly and you can't even enter the school to see their environment they are in or visit them for lunches. He was not challenged academically and was quite bored. We moved back to where we came from mostly so he could be back in a school where he thrives and is accepted for who he is.

My daughter received an excellent Pre-K education. Mrs. Lisa is a phenomenal teacher. Unfortunately, the new principal and her rude/unprofessional behavior led me to withdraw my daughter from the school two weeks prior to the start of kindergarten. BSS' leadership decided, without adequate prior notice (should be more than a few weeks before school starts), to double the tuition premium (over the previous year) paid by non-Catholics. This premium is excessive and far exceeds any benchmark that I have found searching Catholic schools in this region and around the US. While I can more than afford the tuition, I do not think that BSS is providing an education or customer service that warrants such a premium. So, parents beware! Quality education and professional administration are very important, especially when you are paying a premium for it. Best wishes!
