As a parent of a recent graduate I only have good things to say about the school. My son entered…read morethe school as a shy 14 year old boy and graduated this past June as a proud and confident 'Xaverian Man'. For him the school was a place where he felt safe, was challenged academically and had the type of "Brotherhood" from both the teachers and fellow students that he never had as an only child. I am sure there were some minor childhood shenanigans going on that administrators may have turned a blind eye to at times. That is part of the growing process and after all it is an all boys school. However, when there were isolated incidents that were more than just childhood pranks, the administrators took swift action to correct the situation. I attended all of the Parent/Teacher meetings and can honestly say that his teachers all showed me that they cared about my son's academic and social progress as well as his over all high school experience. There was never a time where I left those meetings feeling anything less than optimistic about his progress even when he was not working at his best. Yes, the tuition is higher than at other comparable Catholic private high schools in Brooklyn but they do not nickel and dime families with all those mandatory fund raisers other schools often do which cuts the gap some and they do offer financial assistance to those families who truly need it. In the end we are pleased about the education and values that he gained from his four years there and would recommend the school to any family who is thinking of sending their son there.

Tell the principal if you have any concerns, she listens. Some people in this school act as if the school is bad for them not trying hard on their work.... Go to this school if you want to feel safe!

Another suggestion: Please make the schedule a little better by changing class in 5 minutes instead of 1 minute. That is so fast and there is no way to change that quick. Thank you and hope you change it as soon as possible. My teachers choose me as "student of the month" which is nice to me because my parents will be happy to see that. Last suggestion: When you do report card, please average it correctly. I had found that my real average for the report card is higher than the one that is written from the teachers. I am not mad, I want you guys to tell the truth. If you listen, then people will get happier and more excited by seeing this. For example, I got 85,85,85,90,96,97,98 on my report card. The regular average is 90.85714285714...and instead of that, they put 90.83. By .03 point is a little quite a difference. I would like you guys to follow my suggestion so you guys will make me happy. See you guys in September.

Besides the tuition charges you will have to bring in more money - fundraising, expensive school trips that are mandatory, even tickets for school plays are sold for money, even students must purchase the tickets. For school lunch you must pay in advance before school starts, you have no choice - it's included in your deposit. The meal is terrible. Whatever has to be hot is cold and whatever has to be cold is warm, test-less and undercooked. I paid for the lunch at the beginning of the school year but my child never ever ate there. There are no water fountains and the school sells water bottles that are more expensive than in stores. The head of school and Most of the stuff is rude and mean except doctor Jecome- the science teacher, he was really nice. Half of my emails to the head of the school left unanswered. Spanish starts from 9th grade comparing to 5 or 6 grade in public schools. My child had to be present of course on Spanish lessons and waist time and money. In 9 grade math students learn what public students learn in 8 grade. My child waisted a year learning nothing new in this school and I waisted money. If you care about your child's education and your money don't send your kid to this school.

I remember hearing the idiomatic phrase "cream of the crop" for the first time in my life, and it was used by then principal Madeline Brennan to describe the freshman class. Ms. Brennan was the longest serving principal in New York History, and rarely failed to mention she became principal before the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge was completed. I don't remember seeing any of the usual social hierarchy tropes movies make you expect of middle school. Everyone existed in various shades of nerd. You had your band nerds (of which my trumpet playing self was a proud member), your drama nerds, and of course, your handball nerds. It was a good place to come of age, if such a place can exist. I can still recite the school song by heart: Cheer, cheer for old Dyker Heights Ours is the school of bright shining lights All our boys and all our girls, strive for, fight for all that's right! What though the odds be great or small Our boys and girls will win over all And we'll sing her praises Marching onward to victory

There is little to no discipline, witnessing large amounts of bullying. This school focuses more on building a child socially, and emotionally. There is very little to no academic procedures in Bay Ridge Prep, and homework and studying are myths. So If your willing to pay $8,000 for a school that gives no academic challenge to you kids and have them get bullied, you should look into this school.
