Penfield Senior High School

The teachers are fantastic. The administration used to be great until this year. The new people who have come on leave something to be desired. They are very negative when involving parents in the classroom. They teachers are wonderful about it when the administration doesn't get in the way. The elementary principal, though, is also wonderful!

Disappointing Experience - A School That Falls Short of Its PromisesI had high hopes for this school, given the values it claims to embody and the positive things that were said about it. Unfortunately, my experience has been nothing short of disappointing. Despite the school's outward promises of being a place with heart, support and progress, it is plagued by indifference and a concerning level of carelessness at all levels, particularly in its leadership and administration.The administration is largely ineffective and does little to address the significant issues facing the school. Whether it's the lack of proactive measures to improve the quality of education, or the failure to ensure a safe and secure environment for students, there seems to be little effort made in creating meaningful change. For a school that claims to prioritize student well-being and success, the lack of real action to improve is disheartening.That said, there are a few standout teachers who truly care about their students and provide an outstanding education. They are the heart of the school, offering dedication and passion that is unfortunately not supported by the school's leadership. These educators deserve better, and so do the students.In short, while there are bright spots in the form of individual teachers, the school's overall approach falls woefully short. The lack of leadership, attention to security, and commitment to real improvements makes it hard to recommend this school to others. It's truly disappointing, especially considering the potential this Catholic school has to be so much better.

As a former student this school is a complete hell hole the kids that attend this school are rich entitled brats and are the most unchristian people you’ll ever meet the bullying is utterly ridiculous and so obvious yet the school does NOTHING the fact most of these kids grew up at this school and have zero Christian traits just shows something isn’t right these people are so insanely mean and not to mention how much homework they assign and the teachers barely teach?

The children have grown academically, spiritually, and socially since attending St. John Bosco and we couldn't be more impressed with the school! Their strong focus on faith and academics sets them apart. The teachers and staff are amazing, and there is a wonderful sense of community at St. John Bosco. Bussing has been very easy from outside the district.
