One of the worst schools ever,Bullying is very common and the administration do nothing about it Social support, below average and the counselors do nothing to help and support the students Teaching, below average, some teachers tell a very weird personal stories that is not appropriate to the students.Vape, very common and administration do nothing about.If you have any issue with the administration, they will threatens you to expelled your student if you come forward with it.The school hand book is a joke, even the principal and his assistant do not know what in it.And so much more.I would not send my kids to this school even if it was for free.

I’ve been at foley for 5 weeks already. ITS AMAZING! When I graduated from 8th grade I wasn’t ready for highschool and was scared people would make fun of my tics. But no one has except my friends but i know it’s in a joking way. The kids here are so much better then my old school. And the counselors are some of the sweetest people ever! And the principals *chefs kiss* the nicest guys u will ever meet their funny and interact with the students and even play games with them. And the teachers are all nice and cool. 10/10 school highly recomemd :).

As a family, we recommend Foley highly. A testament to our appreciation - we are a 2-generation Foley family - children and grandchildren. The quality of the education, the sensitivity to student needs, and the transmission of important values can be applauded. Thanks to the administration, teachers, and coaches for all they do to support students.An involved and appreciative Foley Grandparent

Ignore the review below mine. We had a vaping incident at Bishop Foley, but it was swiftly handled by our administrators. Not everyone vapes here but those who do are severely punished. Moving on to my review, my experience at Bishop Foley has been excellent. The classes are rigorous and while the workload is a lot, it all goes toward a great education. The teachers are very informative and knowledgeable in their areas of expertise and due to the small class sizes, you can truly develop a one-on-one relationship with them. Foley truly is a family. Most people here are incredibly supportive and positive especially if you get involved in extracurriculars. The only downside to such a small school would be the lack of ap classes. I've found myself running out or not being able to take certain ones that at offered at other institutions. Overall, however, as today is my last day at Foley as a senior, I can most certainly say I've been prepared at Foley for my future.

The principal and the vice principal do everything possible to put their students down. Show zero support. Make up stories to cover up their mistakes. Half of the students vape and the principal do nothing to prevent it. All what he care about is how to suspend them without any proof that the student use vape for real. Bad students bully and put good students in trouble and the principal do nothing about it. All what they care about is your money. They endanger the kids wellbeing by allowing some kids to vape without any informative session to explain the consequences of vaping and the harmful side effects on their health. The principal and the vice principal cause emotional distress on the kids and show zero support and empathy even if the kid didn't do a mistake and it's false claim by jealous students. They plan it to put bad thing in their record so they wouldn't get accepted in any other catholic school and they stuck in this school and keep paying them. The education is not good. Some of the teachers even bully the students. I'm sure This school soon will be shut down

I would give this school negative stars if I could.

If I could put a stronger answer for bullying, I would. For example, in the drama club, all students are given an award and the student drama club council names then and gives them to people. A student was given the "hoodrat" award. If you don't know what this means, it is very much a derogatory term. The teacher that runs the club approved of it and the administration did nothing. Another example of why this school is terrible, certain teachers like to tell kids they are going to hell if they don't follow certain religious teachings. Another one, I know of multiple teachers that have worked there who had relations with students (more than just the one on the news) that were not dealt with. The teachers were just asked to resign or be fired. One teacher specifically would not leave ME alone and administration refused to let me switch classes. I could go on for hours.

I had an overall great experience at Bishop Foley.

Bishop Foley was a great high school experience for me. Raised Catholic, I shared classes with Catholics and non-Catholics. It speaks for itself when another religious denomination chooses a Catholic school for all it offers when it comes to education and discipline. When I entered college, a professor asked me if I went to parochial school because it showed. I wasn't the brightest student or the most academically disciplined when I graduated from BFC, but I noticed in college just how much more ready I was by the comparison and how much I really learned outside of my education that served as excellent tools for my college years. The term 'Foley family' is not a myth. It's real and lifelong. Go Ventures!

I felt safe there and the teachers acted like they cared about the students. I learned about my faith at Bishop Foley.

Overall great school, but nothing amazing. Just an average high school with a lot of homework.

I went here, but did not end up graduating from here. They push the needs of students under the rug (ignore bullying from fellow students and teachers, ignore students that need help) and focus on giving out detentions for something as simple as an untucked shirt. The amount of times I was told "look in your book and figure it out" when I had a simple question is countless. My friends and I were told by a teacher "you're going to hell" for standing up for someone who was being bullied by the teacher. Catholicism teaches people to love one another and not to pass judgement. This school is far from that.

Bishop Foley has played a major role in supporting our children both academically and athletically . The teachers offer a wide range of support services along with half days on Wednesdays for their students. This school is truly amazing along with the staff and friendly students. Feeling so blessed.

Bishop Foley is great for quick learners, unfortunately neither the teachers nor the guidance counselor knows how to deal with kids that do not understand the first time something is explained to them. As a parent, I tried to be involved but was told it was my son's responsibility and the school would help him. I am still waiting for the help. For the cost to attend, I would expect the teachers to make sure he is learning and not just stand in the front of the room and lecture,

An excellent school with caring and compassionate teachers who care about providing an education with a solid moral foundation.
