Pros:-Great school-Superior education-very safe-great families-superior college entrance support-excellent competitive athletics-great school spirit-responsive faculty-superior class choices and equipment -no cell phones allowed to be used during school time (they can still have them)! Love this-not near the amount of kid drama as public schools Cons:- as with many private schools…friends are all over and tough to get kids to friends houses -Bad / inconsistent teachers take time to get rid of.-no special education (most private /Catholic schools don’t have it)

After sending my three children to BT I would highly recommend to all I meet. Blessed Trinity is a tight knit community that really is committed to teaching your children not only so they thrive academically, but so they thrive in all areas of development. BT offers many opportunities for students to deepen their faith, enrich their lives in multiple ways including the arts, athletics and service. BT does not water down its core Catholic beliefs and instead brings it into the teaching the students experience. I have three students of all different learning styles and different challenges and the BT staff, teachers and administration have worked diligently to assist my children, creating the best opportunity to learn and grow. I will be forever grateful for the clear commitment to faith, hardworking teachers and administration that have shaped by kids lives so impact-fully. It wasn't always easy for us to afford this Catholic education but my kids experience, the committed teachers and administration, and this community make it worth EVERY penny. Highly recommend

I read the reviews and felt sad for the people complaining. Most likely they had a bad experience and don’t know how to handle. Every school has something, but being there for the last 5 years I da attest they really try their hardest to make kids achieve their potential academically and spiritually.

Based on my kids complaining that their teachers are weird and don't teach much I have to say I am quite disappointed in this school. True Athletics are great here but I'm paying for supposedly a private (superior) education. The Head Master is a very nice and understanding lady. Maybe that is an issue and she should demand more from her teachers or find better ones. The school seems to be school centric and not student centric! Not overly impressed but not overly disappointed as well. ehhhh!

Blessed Trinity is a school dedicated to developing young adults into faith filled, thoughtful and service oriented leaders. I have three children who have attended BT and while each are unique in their learning styles, BT staff and administration has worked with me and my spouse to create the best learning environment for them. BT does not shy or water down its teaching of the Catholic faith, nor its demand for accountability of students that are respectful and responsible. No school will ever be perfect, but at Blessed Trinity I am certain the best interests of the child are always their primary concern. I highly recommended this high school

Parent of 2 children who have gone through BT- one still there currently. Great school, with some issues they need to work on, but won't. Very strong athletics and athletic teams. Great size at 250 students per grade - allows for less clicks - there is a friend group for everyone. Caters to all kinds of learners from the many AP top student to the student needing extra help. Major issue with the school is the monitoring of the teachers. There is NONE. Some teachers are over the top fabulous and some are very lazy - I don't think anyone checks in on them. There are multiple teachers teaching same grade and subject - one is very hard and one super easy. They do not talk to each other or give same tests, which is crazy. Luck of the draw. I have personally spoken to the administration about this with no changes. BT needs more counselors - the counselors are not as involved as they are in public schools - do not even meet with the kids until mid- Junior year and just submit forms for them. They need more counselors that can check in on the children regularly to see how they are doing, especially as new freshman. Catholic students at BT definitely have an advantage over non-Catholics with awards, etc. I have seen top students get passed up for awards and positions in favor of Catholic students. I also feel like the administration is clueless over some issues that need help and come down extremely hard on students sometimes for issues that aren't a big deal. It would also help if they made the masses a little more involved and fun for the students instead of dry and boring - take a look at St. Ann's Lifeteen services for example. Bring in more real life, than rote ritual.With a couple of changes, the school could be amazing.

I would not recommend this school to my worst enemy. They do nothing about anything at all. The office staff and the principal are the worst. They do what they want and lie for each other. Your child will get bullied they will say it didn't happen. They will see someone hit your child and say oh I think they were just playing. If your going to waste money on a private school this is not the one.

A lot of people say that high school was the worst years of their lives. In this instance, high school was the BEST years of my life, thanks to BT and their great faculty and students. I was welcomed immediately when I walked in those doors for the first time, and I am so happy to have known that teachers were there for me when I needed them. I felt so supported. They also have outstanding athletic and fine arts programs as well as a good spiritual environment that helps form Catholic values. I would definitely recommend this school if you are looking for a good, Catholic high school education for your child. :)

This is like many other Catholic Schools in the area. They breed a group of kids that think they are better than others, solely based on the fact their parents are paying large amounts of money. I found the education at BT to be poor, but the sports are really good since more money goes into it. Sadly, the sports are only mediocre at best. I found the parents to be snotty and more co center with what they drive than their child's morals or manner of treating people. This is private, but don't be fooled, there is still drugs and inappropriate actions from both males and females at parties.

Having sent our daughters to the feeder school QA and then to BT we found the transition to high school was seamless. BT is a great school that is focused on academics, arts and sports. We had to move midway through high school out of state. I assumed another Catholic school in the town we were moving to would be as good, but I was very wrong and realized how superior BT was when compared to the school we are currently in that is more $ and has far less resources.

All three of my children attended BT. We never thought we would send our kids to a private school but when it came time for high school the size of the public schools were just overwhelming. We did not want them to get lost in the shuffle and wanted to make sure they had the chance to do what they wanted. I have read many of the comments regarding the focus of sports at BT but regardless if your child was into sports or the arts in a traditional high school with thousands of children the likelihood of them getting to participate in any team sport or in an drama production is greatly limited. Team effort is important as well as individual accomplishment. We do not live on islands and having the opportunity to try the arts, try drama, play sports really gave them a well rounded education. Before you go and get worked up about the sports, remember that your child is able to participate in the sports and in the arts at BT because it is a small school and not a mega high school. They leave this school with life long lessons and friends. They know their teachers and the teachers stay on them and after they leave many keep in touch. This is not likely in the larger setting. It happens but not to the extent it happens at BT. BT offers an incredible experience for your child as well as the family. We are very thankful now that our children are much older that they had such a great experience at BT. BT is a wonderful school and your children will reap many benefits from this experience.

My daughter really wanted to go to BT, and I was trying to be supportive of her intrinsic motivation. I blame myself for not critically evaluating the school better, becasue, we would have never chosen BT had we dug a little deeper. Blessed Trinity has an academically toxic bias towards their sports programs at the cost of any other programs. The drama team had an unprecidented victory at a regional competition, and were invited to the national competition. The director, Frank Moore refused to provide any resources to make this happen. In my first interaction with Mr. Moore, I asked about the debate team (our daughter had been captain of her team at her previous school) and his response left me flabbergasted. He said 'as long as I'm here, we'll never have a debate team'. Wow okay, as long as I'm a parent here, you'll never see a single $ beyond our tuition. BT is absolutely the wrong school for any student who has a diverse set of academic interests beyond sports.

Blessed Trinity is one of the finest private schools in the N Fulton area My children & family have had an incredible experience ! The principal has his pulse on everything at BT! He has a wealth of experience, is extremely responsive and does NOT give lip service. Their academics are very strong offering different levels of classes for different types of students. And the guidance is 2nd to none! You won't get a better guidance program. Bottom line is this school has set my children up for success !! They don't wing anything at this school ...there is a process for everything. High school years are so important and it's been fantastic in every way !

Having gone to middle and elementary school at Blessed Trinity's feeder school, Queen of Angels, I can easily say that I wish I could attend Blessed Trinity. Many Friends of mine went, while I attended a local public high school. The transition from 8 years of private school to a public high school was extremely hard and I don't recommend any parent to put their child through it, especially if your child isn't in an extra curricular activity. Financial reasons may prohibit some people from attending this private high school. Smaller class sizes and student teacher contact is more likely in Blessed Trinity then in most public schools. However, not being a student in attendance of Blessed Trinity, this review is not as credible as others. I can say though that the transition from private to public school can extremely challenging for some, and the decision should be thoughtfully made.

Blessed Trinity is a great school for students to morph into hard working and driven citizens. The coaches and teachers really pushed my to excel. My complaint is that BT is hurt with a couple of terrible teachers. These teachers do not do their job and BT is slow to fire them.
