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.

My experience at BTN from the sixth grade leading up to my senior year has been fantastic. My teacher has prepared me for college and the things that I couldn't expect to happen in my life. I would love to thank the school for such an amazing experience.

Absolutely great education. Pretty bad environment when I attended. Very unjust and extremely political. Very homogenous culture and if you don't fit in, it'll affect you via performance, grades, and opportunities.

basis isa very challenging and academically strong school. it pushes you to think outside the box and gives you a diverse and well rounded education through out your time. i say that time management and course overload are the hardest problems i have struggled with sue to the high caliber classes and in general staying on top of work can become hard as well. overall the teachers really work to explain topics to you and work with you.

Wouldn't recommend as their SPED department is completely incompetent with Rachel Kellman . What a terrible experience! She's an unprofessional that's out to serve an improper agenda. Avoid this school. I regret ever making any donation to this poorly run institution .

Two years in a row there is no Computer Science teacher. The administration is only interested in tracking kids and now there is a new policy for all students to wear their IDs around their necks at all times (papers please!). The principal is so widely disliked that teachers have extremely high tur...

As a kid who has been going to this school since kindergarten back at the primary location, it feels as if every year strips away my free time more and more. For example, this year they had changed the rules during lunch to where you cannot play just basketball with your friends. Instead, they make...
