12/30/2020
The main downfall of BG is the lack of diversity. Without diversity the academics, sports, and activities are brought down.
9/10/2020
Great teachers who truly care about you and what you want to do with your future. The culture is what BG is all about, loving, caring and high school spirit.
1/19/2020
I have a great relationship with many of my teachers. Also being with the same students for such a long time has allowed me to form extremely strong friendships. However, I would've enjoyed meeting new people. Also going to a small school can also inhibit certain opportunities with sports since my school doesn't have a swim team.
GreatSchools Reviews
3/2/2024
Excellent school. Challenging classes, helpful teachers, and lots of sports / extracurricular activities to choose from.
2/17/2024
An excellent school with a great environment. Strong academics.
3/26/2013
As a parent with two children at BG and as person involved in the teaching profession I can say that I am very pleased with the education my kids are receiving. The quality and care shown by the teachers at BG greatly exceeds what I have seen in the government schools. The teachers know every child'...
6/25/2010
Lots of bullies in the school including the teachers. There is nothing Catholic in BGHS. I have my son and daughter there for the lack of Christian High schools in the area. Not worth the money.
