Bishop Ireton HS Reviews

Exceptional education, community atmosphere, great teachers and administration!

Imagine a life with no freedom. No sense of purpose, no sense of existence. Imagine a world where you have been lied to, been told it would be a great place, that things would be better. Imagine a world where you spend 500 dollars on a parking spot and 500 dollars for mediocre lunch every month. Imagine a world where teachers lack all empathy. Now ask yourself before applying to Bishop Ireton, Is this something I can deal with for 4 years? Bishop Ireton was the worst 4 years of my entire life. If you didn't make the popular kid crowd than your life will be horrible. If you don't do drugs and your a male student, YOU WILL NEVER BE POPULAR OR COOL GUARENTEED. Ireton is a huge drug school FYI. Make your own decision, but my advice is pick another Catholic school.

Great Catholic school with dedicated teachers. Band and theatre programs are standouts. The school's focus is on educating the whole person. While mostly an academic school, the football team has been State runners up in recent years, and the baseball team was WCAC runner up recently as well. The school does not have more than 800 students, and is coeducational. So it is a small school, but large enough to offer plenty of different programs. The school also has a robust and outstanding AP program.

I attended. I was not popular, did not do drugs, was not male, and still absolutely adored my time. There is a niche for everyone. The teachers genuinely care. I'd say it's more of a drinking school that a drug school, as some other commenters said. That's not the school's problem, though.

Facilities are good, and there is enough time despite small hallways to get between classes. Great school.

I went to Bishop Ireton High School and really liked it. It was a place where they gave us some normal and some weirdo teachers and let us thrive. The only reason I'm giving it 1 star is because I believe many of these reviewers just gave it 5 because Matt Espinosa went (goes?) there, and that doesn't seem the proper foundation for a set of Google Reviews. Just trying to bring the average down a little bit!

Cordially,
David

Not really sure why any former student or BI affiliate would be considered more significant than Dave Grohl, Bob McDonnell, Mr Rauer or ARod...

Excellent staff and the principal Mrs.McNutt.
Thanks Veronica, Cara and Mrs. Jordan, you'll made Kareena very happy. Thank you.

I see several past or ex BI students recently gave the school a poor rating. I totally disagree. Life is what you make of it . Clearly these ex students didn t use the time they were at BI to take responsibility for their own actions and make a place for themselves in a very vibrant, diverse and highly rated college prep school.

Drugs and alcohol are issues at every high school; what matters is how the school responds to these issues with its students. As a parent of a BI student myself, I know firsthand that the school holds all-hands assemblies with students to discuss the dangers, and consequences of, vaping, drugs, alcohol, etc. Also, I ve seen BI s administrators take swift and severe action against students using illegal substances on campus.

If you are a current, ex or former BI student and your concerns focus on not being popular or that your Juul got confiscated, you probably didn t/don t belong at BI.

For Parents: I graduated from BI in the 80 s when it was an all-boys Catholic College Prep High School. I had cooky teachers and demanding teachers (who didn t) but, all of them would do anything to help their students succeed. I wasn t popular but I found my place, joined clubs, made life-long friends and got a great Catholic education that prepared me for college - and, more importantly, for life and, I see it coming around full-circle with my son.

Simply put, if you are considering BI for your son or daughter, call them up and schedule a tour. BI also offers rising freshmen to shadow for a day with a BI Freshman -lunch and all. When your kid comes back home that day, they ll know (and you ll know) if BI is a great fit for them.

I couldn t be happier with my decision to send my son to my alma mater, Bishop Ireton. He s working hard and getting a good Catholic education, he s involved, making friends, and becoming a wonderful young man.
