St John Bosco High School

Umm this school I’m a current student at this highschool okay most the teachers don’t know hot to teach the dances suck all the funding goes to the football team the kids are annoying but I guess I still have my bosco pride

My son is graduating from Bosco in a few days and this has been a great school. Beautiful looking campus and a wonderful administration who really seem to care.
He and I were not sure if he would be attending St John Bosco due to the tuition cost, although I had him take the entrance exam in December of his 8^th grade year just to see how he would do. He scored high on the exam and with his exam score and references from his current and past teachers at the school he was then attending, he ended up being warded a $ 15,000 academic scholarship to Bosco. That helped lower the tuition cost by approximately $ 300 per month throughout his four years. His scholarship was possible due to a previous student from several years back who had given the money to the school so that it would be used as an academic scholarship. It seems that this was not unusual because I found that many prior students would «give back» to Bosco. That in itself says how much they loved their school. Also, many of the teachers are prior St John Bosco graduates and they really do care about their students.
Like many other private schools the parents do need to do so many hours of volunteer time at the school or they can chose to just «payout» their hours. It is only 15 hours a year which was no problem for me even as a single mom. There are also four parent meetings per year which are mandatory.
I liked the fact that it is an all boys school which gets together frequently with the sister school, St. Josephs in Lakewood which is an all girls school, for different functions. I feel that it being an all boys school keeps the students focused more on their studies. Non of the students that I knew of seemed to miss the fact that there were no girls in the classroom.
If a Catholic education is something you desire for your child, but you feel you cannot afford tuition cost, please talk to someone at the school to see if there is a way to possibly make it more affordable. I have learned throughout the years that there is much help out there, as far as Catholic education, if you just ask.

This is a spectacular high school, with a fantastic staff, and excellent students!
Great coaches, the best wrestling program, great football! This high school works very hard to grow students into great young men of character!

Sending my son here. He’s currently a freshman and really enjoying the experience. Teachers are good at keeping in contact with you & updating you on your boys’ progess. Great campus/​facilities. You know your money is being spent on keeping things updated. It’s no surprise so many of the staff are SJB grads. It’s like a family & a lot of these boys who turn into men want to come back & give back to current crop of Bosco students. Highest recommendation.

Administration was nice enough to let me wait for my ex-​boyfriend before he got out of class. All their socials were with St. Joseph, which was annoying because I went to public school. I love how everyone yelled «braves!» at the end of the national anthem. The uniform is blue or white polos with khakis. They have a huge gym.

i guess ill give it a 5 star. just cause my husband came from here and he has sooo much bosco pride, hahahaha! go braves.
back when i was at josephs, i HATED BOSCO GUYS. TOOOO SNOBBY. they were JUST LIKE THE GIRLS FROM JOSEPHS. unfortunately i am a jester from 99.
who woulda thought id marry a brave??? hmm, go bosco, i have no choice, but u will be my son’s future.
