Coyle & Cassidy High School

We are very happy with the moral and academic education at Coyle and Cassidy.

This school is great for most people - the community is great, the students are amazing, and the classes very informative. However, as a student with ADHD, my experience was absolutely horrible. My doctor tried to diagnose me freshman year, so my doctor, social worker, and parents all sent SNAP-IV forms to my guidance counselor and teachers. We sent them multiple times, in email and print, over the course of three years(!) without a single return, until eventually my doctor diagnosed me without them my senior year. By that point, however, the damage was done - I had a 2000+ SAT score, but an extremely low GPA, not to mention the VERY damaging effects it had on my self-esteem. My teachers tried to give me emotional support, but I truly did not get the personal tools I needed, and actually ended up on academic probation during my first college semester because I had no idea how to function academically. If your kid is very independent, this is a great fit for them, but if they need any kind of personal assistance, I recommend going somewhere else. I wish I had transferred to public school when my doctor (yes, my doctor) recommended it. I do truly believe they care, but they have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

This is a place that can really be called a community...a place where teachers really care and go above and beyond (I can attest to the commitment of my colleagues.)....A place where parents work hand in hand with teachers for the benefit of their child...and where the student knows they'll receive the knowledge and attention to be prepared for college and beyond...

Loved my experience at Coyle and Cassidy High School! Strongly feel as though I was able to excel as a student-athlete at Bentley University & in my professional career due to the solid academic foundation & development provided to me at Coyle.

Coyle has an amazing staff that are knowledgable, kind, and willing to help you succeed. They are expanding the arts and band, and redoing the science labs. Now with the IPads, we are able to really learn in the future! It is a amazing high school and a great experience for a lucky student!
