One of the worst schools in my honest opinion. The school does not care for students well being or mental health and overwhelms students with homework and excessive tests and consequences for academic difficulties. The school only cares about beating school competition. The school brushes bullying and harassment off their shoulders there are several past and current cases of students who have come forward to being sexually assaulted and the school did virtually nothing. One of the worst schools in Boston. All they care about is being number one they don't care about their students

I'm currently a student at the O'Bryant and my first year was horrible, because I didn't really understand the system. Later in the school year, it got a little better and I met some really nice friends. The teachers, however, sometimes overwhelm students with a lot of work and the next day some teachers don't accept late work, they just automatically give a student a zero sometimes. The teachers only help if they want to or if they aren't busy with important stuff. I'm starting school next Thursday and I don't know if I'm ready this year. Overall, my experience is neutral.

Coming into the O'Bryant as a transfer student from Boston Latin School I did not know what to expect. One of the first things I noticed coming when I came to OB is that the teachers where really supportive. Back at BLS I can remember having to rely on myself to pass the classes (Thankfully I eased through BLS with headmasters). I came to the O'Bryant because of it's specialisation in math and science and I was really pleased. Really the O'Bryant has been looked at as a third rate school compared to the other two exam school. But from my experience this school is just as hard and just as challenging as the other two exam schools. The students here are really motivated to do their best in everything that they do and most even go on to attend top rate universities ( Harvard, MIT, Yale, ect..). So if you are a parent with a student applying for exam school please do not discard the O'Bryant, Give the school a second look and you may find that the school may be the right place for your child, After attending Boston Latin School and Shadowing at BLA I can tell you that this school is way better than BLA. Students are happier at this school and seem more motivated than the kids at BLA.
