My senior son has had a wonderful experience at BK. He came from a public school and is quite quiet, so we were concerned that he would not make friends. He made some friends the first semester, and has steadily added to the core. His ability to think and extrapolate from textbook learning is exceptional. He was accepted to a top engineering school, and of his peers from the public school, also 4.0+, none has fared as well. The teachers work to ensure that in-depth learning occurs, not just rote learning. Highly recommend it.
BK is the best kept secret in ID. Acedemics, leadership, extra-c, service, college-prep. Parents get involved, not hard, and you'll pay for college. private, at that. Learn the system, e-mail online site, conferences etc. We' ve managed, I'm disabled, and my second is at BK, first on a full ride at highly rated private Univ.
I started my oldest son at Bishop Kelly for his freshmen year. Although he made 2 or 3 close friends, the student environment was often unwelcoming and closed. He was enrolled in all the general subjects that were required for a freshmen student but the teachers were not as focused as I would have liked and he often came home telling me that his teachers werent really doing anything in his classes. When I called and a few of his teachers trying to figure out what was going on, my calls were never returned and my emails never replied to. I pulled my son out after his freshman year and he spent the rest of his high schools years at Timerline where he has done much better
