"Average Experience"

Our experience at Blessed William Howard Catholic High School was mixed. While the school has some excellent facilities and a strong sense of community, we felt that the school's communication with parents could be improved. Our child had a generally positive experience, but we felt that there was room for growth in terms of parental engagement.
