GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I attended Bolton 4 years and I learned a whole lot . Interacting in school helps a whole lot . The school most definitely taught how to be the best person I can be . My best year was freshmen year I was so the shy kid interacting in the older kids activities. The sports was amazing my favorite was most definitely softball if I could do high school all over again I would . It most definitely prepared me for adult hood !

I had an amazing experience at Bolton and my brother is attending there now. The teachers were so helpful and really cared if I was college ready. This school felt more like a family than anything because it was small enough for classmates and teachers to get to know each other. Our sports on the other hand were lacking but that is because Bolton was focused on our academics and making sure we were ready for college. This is a compromise i was happy to take.
