Research Bishop England High School Private Schools in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

“The school is okay, but they put WAY TOO MUCH emphasis on discipline, when they should care more about important things. I understand discipline is necessary but the school has the most absurd, nit-picking rules.”

“I LOVE Bishop England High School. I will be a sophomore this coming year, and I think Bishop England is awesome. I wouldn't want to go to any other high school.”

“My son has been at Bishop England HS since his freshman year, he is going into his senior year in August. He has done very well in the close environment of the school. He is in the Drama club and has been in two plays. It is a good program, as well as the other arts that are offered. There is a top notch sports program where they have received state titles for a variety of sports. The campus is beautiful and well kept. My husband and I have been pleased with this experience.”

“Both of my sons are BE graduates. After having been in several private schools in the Charleston area throughout their academic careers, my sons thrived at BE. That is not to say that BE is perfect. It isn't. Just like every school, there are problems. Neither of my sons particularly loved BE, but they realized it was the quality of the education that was important. The vast majority of the teachers do care about their charges and most will go out of their way to help a student who needs extra attention. The classes are challenging and of a manageable size. And the academic track system that the school utilizes enables each student's academic strengths and weaknesses to be met. For the money, whether you are Catholic or of a different faith, it is the best private school for the money in Charleston.”

“I wish I would never have sent my daughter to BE. The courses are unbeneficial, the athletics are a joke especially the football team, and the teacher-parent relations are horrible. Send your kids to Hanahan's public schools. Go Hawks.”

“Both my children graduated from BE within the last six years. 1/3 of the students are not Catholic. We are not, and that was not a problem for my children. Students may enroll in honors, college prep, and regular high school classes. They may be in honors English at the same time as they are in college prep math. Many honors courses are offered. Every student has the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of sports. The kids hate the uniforms, which are incredibly dated, not to mention ugly. Students come from all over the area to the school, which is located on Daniel Island. The parking lots are full. Attendance at school masses is obligatory. My children only had 2 or 3 disappointing teachers (rigid, old school). I highly recommend this school if parents want a school with high expectations for students' behavior as well as their academic”
