This school focuses on the student's needs. They help to develop a well rounded, academic achiever, and spiritual person during their years at this school. Close Quote

The School recently fired a respected teacher of 19 years for revealing she is gay in an obituary of her mother. I had 4 sons attend Bishop Watterson and did nto know of this horrific intolerance. I would not recommend the school.

This school fired a long time well respected teacher because of her sexuality. When the basis of the school's mission is to teach love, acceptance, and tolerance, what example are they showing young adults! These actions are appalling in this day and age! I'll definitely search for another Catholic school in the Columbus area that can do more than preach, one that actually can walk the walk! Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
