Not to mention - Mike Starling (the dean) is a J O K E. The discipline is laughable!

My daughter attended BTS from 2018-2022. The level of racism, greed, and profound disregard to any parent concerns is disgusting! The administration is a nightmare!

The teachers are top notch and are truly care about the success of each student. However, the principal, Ms. Losito is unprofessional and incompetent. Student safety is put last even when concerns are brought forth. Students who are violent towards other students are given chance after chance instead of being asked to leave. Ms Losito seems to be a Christian in name only. She laughs and gossips about students and parents that she looks down upon. I have heard her do so on numerous occasions first hand.

Great atmosphere. Teachers care about the students

Administration shows zero follow through, as well as terrible communication skills. Very money biased. My child was mistreated and overlooked at this supposedly Christian school. Homework and projects outrageous. Classroom instruction disappointing. Student led conferences with no parent/ teacher contact. So disappointed at the money wasted here.

Awful, judgemental with no basis and admin staff acts as though they’re doing you a favor when communicating for normal school reasons. Not demonstrative of a Godly environment.

I’ve been putting up with smug treatment from the administrative staff for two years and enough is enough. All the negative reviews here are on target. Money grubbing, unprofessional staff. This is not a Catholic environment, this is a business. Not even a business would treat its customers so poorly. If you are looking for leadership by example in a Christian mindset, do not send your children here. I’m disgusted by the lack of service, even the new principal should be ashamed of herself.

Terrible! If you are not rich or donate to school or in the rich click you are looked down upon. This School has no special magnet program for students that need to be challenged. This school takes bullying as a joke. Many kids including mind get bullied and the staff and administration do absolutely nothing about it. They only care about getting your money weekly. If you want someone from the school to contact you miss a payment, you will definetly get calls, emails, and even mail sent home.

It is said to see a school that is so driven to keep all students average. If your student is low or high this school is not for you. My student was never pushed beyond the material instead called out and bullied by other students because they were smart. Sad to say administration denied it was happening even though many parents saw it and complained. Best decision to pull out my child and move them to another private school!!!

I Love this school! My Daughter has Ms. Hyde this year and she is an AMAZING, Dedicated, Enthusiastic and Caring Teacher. I am sooo happy that we are getting a New Principal next year.

I love BT! This is my daughter's first year, and she wakes up so excited and ready to learn and play! Not only is she blossoming academically, but spiritually! I am realizing that every rule and procedure set forth is there for a very good reason; and it is obvious how much hard work and dedication goes into this "well oiled machine," by not only the staff, but the parents. There are two things that I can say that I dislike. One, uniforms are expensive and wear fast! There is only one place to buy them; and they charge way too much. The "used uniform sales" are just silly because these uniforms are always in bad shape. Three months in and my daughters shirts are so faded! Two, I wish that the student to teacher ratio was smaller. My daughter attended a school in kindergarten where she received a lot of attention and guidance from her teacher. Her teacher at BT is great, but is just too busy to give much attention to students individually, therefore not knowing them enough to give solid feedback to parents(also keep in mind it's 3 months into the school year). Overall, I am happy with this school and will keep my daughter there, and one day put my younger daughter there also.

BT is a great school. There is no place else that I would send my child. The comfort of knowing that my child is being surrounded by like minded values is priceless.

We should have known from the start what we were in for. When your preschooler is getting written up for...being a preschooler, it's a bit ridiculous. My husband and I both grew up in catholic schools, so BT was an obvious choice for us. After four years of this it was obvious we had made the wrong choice. The school and the church are about money. There is no tolerence for children acting like children, and the staff involvement and communication is not satisfactory what so ever. In our last year there our child was written up within the first week of school, and later in the year for putting stickers all over. We had requested several meetings with the teacher only to get demeaning notes home. We were on the fence about switching schools until our child came home with half of their hair cut off, and the principal dismissing it. Then we were called and asked to make a decision because they had children on the waiting list if ours was not returning! We're only two months in at the new school and our child is excelling tremendously (and hasn't been written up once!)
