- This school is excellent in academics with over 90% placement in college.
The size is small which allows for great interaction between students and faculty and allows for participation in many extracurricular activities.

- We have had two children at Bishop Guilfoyle over the past four years. Academically, Guilfoyle has challenged them, and prepared them for college studies. In addition, both students have enjoyed varsity sports (football and soccer), chorus, and the drama club.

- I have one son who graduated from BG and in his 2nd year of college and doing great. I feel BG really helped him be prepared for the academics of college and for the confidence to be at a very large campus. My other son is now a Junior at BG and is really enjoying his experience. He has a great group of friends.Their parents are great people and I know they care about their kid's education and morals as much as I do. Technically my third son is part of the BG family, even though he is in 6th grade at Hollidaysburg Catholic. He just has to wait a few years to be in the building!
