I like the school and I think you get what you pay for. However, teachers are not the most helpful they can be and many have favorites.

I had a very good experience at Bishop McDevitt. I made a few really good friends and also made a lot of memories. Academics are in the forefront of the Bishop McDevitt culture and education is prioritized. I would recommend Bishop McDevitt to anyone who is looking for a high school that will not only challenge you academically, but also socially. Bishop McDevitt has many opportunities to become a social butterfly and make connections with people.

This school promotes discrimination and uses bullying tactics. Love and tolerance are not shown to all of the students.

Graduated in 1971. Best education in the entire area. Philosophy of the system and educators still have an influence on my life to this day. I was well prepared in the continuance of my education. Highly recommended.
