[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BI has a wide range of students, considering they pretty much accept everybody. My DD applied as her safety and did not want to go, due to BI's party culture. Kids there vape on the regular and absolutely do party. Luckily she got into one of the "Big 3" and is going there instead. We understand there's a party crowd in every school, but we want to send our DD to a school that has a true rep at Ivy's and has a more rigorous education that also doesn't have a big party crowd. 
That's not to say BI isn't a good school--it is. You have some outstanding students, and some sub par students. It's like that everywhere, but more so at BI. They need to be more selective, as they accept 87% of applicants. [/quote]

It is a diocesan school, so the focus is religion. The families that send kids there are focused on having a school environment that is consistent with their Catholic values. It is a good school, but people aren’t going there in droves because they think it will set their kid up for the Ivy League.

Also, it’s nice that they accept applicants with different abilities. If you have a family with a big sibling group, there’s usually some variation in academic aptitude. [/quote]

I find it interesting how a school so focused on religion has such a strong party culture. Last I checked, the bible pretty much condones vices such as drugs and alcohol. 
Parents better send their kids somewhere else, like a convent, if they truly want faith instilled in their kids.[/quote]
