Bishop Kelley provided a very good high school education and experience. I feel that it prepared me very well for the challenges and trials in college and provided me a firm foundation to excel in higher education. Furthermore the sports, clubs, and focus on faith provided a comprehensive environment that nourished me.

I love BK. I have always dreamed of loving school, and BK makes it easy to do so. It is challenging, but I know it is always worth it in the end. All the teachers are super supporting in every way!! I would recommend BK to any family of any kind, everyone fits in. Also, they are currently renovating buildings, but the campus is gorgeous. Best high school experience I could ask for!

This school does not care about the safety of its students. During covid, very minimal measures were taken. These measures were not enforced. The restrictions were gradually lifted, and that would be fine if the numbers were not still rising. As hospitals filled up, so were school hallways as the sc...
