My son graduated last year 2018 and it was a great 4 years. He has a scholarship to ST Louis U because he went to school here.

I attended this school back in the early 90s for a couple of years. Not much has changed from the sound of it, and I would know since my children attend a real Christian School.
Disclaimer: Please take note of the fact that I cannot address each individual that attends, is employed by, or is affiliated with Bishop Lynch individually; for the purposes of this review I address BL corporately. This school is not accurately billed as a Christian school; the parents are of questionable character, the children are arrogant, unintelligent and uneducated, and the faculty is made upalmost in its entirety

Please FENCE your additional "Parking lot" that's gravel and next to the athletic fields!!!! People keep doing donuts at all hours of the night to kick up dust and disturb the neighborhood. It is unsafe and I doubt this school will pay for any damages done to surrounding residents if need be because it's not fenced off.

Bishop Lynch High School is a great school but some of the staff is a little off. The dean of students treats the kids like they're incomprehensive and below her. It was a drastic change from Chris Rebuck to her and caught my family off guard. She puts herself on a pedestal when its not her place. She crosses the line too often not to mention, she takes certain issues into her own hands when they're more of a counselor oriented situation. She says things to students that are disrespectful when she's trying to be assertive. Other than her I'd say Bishop Lynch High School is an academically well
