Boston College High School Reviews
Rating 4.43 out of 5 204 reviews
Going to BC High was easily one of the best decisions I/my parents have ever made. It is truly a school that goes above and beyond, with an unbreakable sense of community and brotherhood. Between the incredible teachers that truly care and the excellent guidance department, the opportunities are endless if you take advantage of them. BC High has made me a more well-rounded student and person, and I do not know where I would be today without this school. The friendships you make at this school will be some of the best and most long-lasting ones you will ever make, even through college and beyond. The location and commute on the T and interaction/proximity to the city makes every student a responsible, independent, and, well-adjusted member of society way before they are expected to be. I would love to see more investment in the arts, and diversity could be better, but other than that, there is not much more that I can think of that I would change.
Love it here, the guidance and teachers at this school are beyond supporting. Everyone within this community is welcome and mistakes are not looked down upon. Coming here from my old high school I saw a automatic change in investing within your child. They don't look at you as another brick in the wall rather like you are the only one in the school. Sports involvement was also very organized and well done.
Thank goodness for BC. Our son asked if he could leave his public high school after his freshman year because he wasn’t challenged and it was simply to “small”. Small meaning many things. Thought process, politics, insulated, entitled, lacked any diversity, etc. BC has been incredible. Handled the pandemic better than many colleges. Teaches your child how to be a responsible adult. Prepares them for college in a way most insulated, out of touch, preachy suburban schools can’t. He loved every minute if it, is graduating this year, and we KNOW he will be ready for college and beyond. Thank you BC!!!! Our public schools, and much of the staff that works for it, are a true joke/embarrassment compared to the people at BC. Thank you so much!
