Overall this school is good, however most of the teachers are coaches that are more concerned with coaching than teaching. This school does have a lot of cliques, but if a student is outgoing and not shy they will make some friends. The dance team has a lot of cliques as well. There is a lot of gossip, fakeness, favoritism. The older girls can turn the coaches against you and they are really mean to underclassmen unless you kiss-up to them. The other teachers care about their students and want them to succeed.
This is my freshman year at BL, and I already feel welcomed by the staff and students. I was the only girl from school to go to BL, and I have already made so many friends in the last couple of weeks. BL is a very well-rounded school. It has challenging academics, great competitive sports teams, and an amazing Arts program. On the first day I was so nervous for lunch and who I was going to sit by. Some people at a table made my day by asking me to come and sit with them. BL is such a welcoming and I am so excited to get this amazing opportunity to spend my high school experience at BL.
Bishop Lynch is an excellent school that have teachers who challenge the students. Freshman year for my daughter was an enlightening experience and the teachers and staff guided me through all the things I had to learn as a parent,.
I know that some people who have commented here said that BL revolves mostly around sports (particularly football), but you would have to realize we're in Texas where sports are a main priority and, well, it's high school. As for me, I am involved in the fine arts program and have found it to be a very rewarding experience, and the best part is we integrate people who are involved in a variety of activities around BL, but we never talk about sports unless it's about the Cowboys. I have found all of my classes to be challenging, and once you get into one honors class, it's easy to get into the other ones. From, charity and hip hop to anime and creative writing, there's something for everyone to either find their niche or explore possibilities for the future. I'm thoroughly pleased with my BL experience thus far.
Bishop Lynch is a top notch Catholic prep school. They offer a wide range of academic and elective courses that keep the students challenged. It is nice to have a Catholic college prep school that welcomes students of all abilities. It is warm and welcoming, not elitist. My daughter graduated with 40 hours of dual enrolled credit which allowed her to start college at the second year level and launch right into her major area of study. It is such a well rounded environment of academics, sports, art, and clubs.
Bishop Lynch is a fabulous private school. Our daughter excelled in her classes. Her wonderful teachers were supportive, understanding, and very kind. The faculty was amazing. Our concerns and misconceptions were always greeted with accurate information with follow-ups to boot. We love this private school.
Bishop lynch is truely one of the premier High Schools in the D/FW Metroplex and all of Texas. I have graduated one and have one currently enrolled (and one to come). We all want our kids to excel. BL is outstanding at teaching academics, but more importantly BL teaches our kids how to be leaders and believe in themselves. BL is the best decision I ever made for the development of my children!
BL helped prepare me for college and many other things. Although most teachers were focused on education you will find that some teachers can be focused more on discipline and sports. BL definitely centers around athletics but even though there is not much recognition for other extracurricular activities, there are many ways for students to get involved and spend there time in high school the way they want to.
Excellent college prep school. BL offers dual enrollment courses which allows students to graduate with college credits. Much better than the usual AP courses other schools offer. Our daughter will graduate this year and enter a top notch college next year as a sophomore due to all the college credits she has earned. Wonderful experience you can not get at the 'other' Catholic high school.
i received an excellent education at bishop lynch. i would recommend the school for the latin courses alone. the language program and the study regimen for outside assignment were great for preparing me for college. i went on to get master of science and a master of arts after attending bishop lynch. the scholastics were so strong, I never cracked a book in my first two years of college.
