  • I been to bishop mcvinney for like 5 years :-) i dont go there anymore because i now go to bridgham middle school- (do not bring you child at that school, it is terrible)... But Bishop McVinney is a very safe and smart environment. Your child will be safe there and your child will have more attention by the teachers since the school is smaller. Go BMV!

  • Dear Miss.Macfarlane if you are reading this, here it goes:
    I am a mother of one of your students. I am not going to tell you which student or give out names but you are very uncaring to your students and what they say to you. I think it is very rude that every time a student asks you a question you use your little sarcasm phrases like, "Are you out of your mind!" or "Didn't you just heard what I said?" or "Cut it out!" or "Common Sense." You should really stop doing that because you are lucky the principal and the staff members do not know of your not caring personality. Please stop DOING THAT!

    Thank you,
    * Parent of a student in Miss. Macfarlane's classroom. *
