I had a very good experience at Battle Ground High school overall. The teachers were always beyond helpful. I was active in sports and even a captain in football and wrestling my senior year. I always felt that coaches and teachers put me in a successful place to do great in everything I worked for. Classes were large and had very hands on teachers who made class fun and educational.

In my time at BGHS, I have made a lot of good memories. Their Arts and Music program is one of the best in the area, if not the best. I would gladly repeat the experience in a heartbeat.

I think Battle Ground high school has some very good teachers. I think that they hold their athletes up higher then the academics. I would like to see a change in teaching . To have more positive help for the underclassman including more talk about the future.

The number of elective classes and the selection are amazing. (Such examples are Audio Production, Welding, Woodworking, Jewelry, Photo/Digital Photo, Animation, Video Game Design, etc.) One major problem this school has is overcrowding, with around a total school population of around 1,500 students...

I have two sons there now. One a Sophomore and one a Senior. They have both had good experiences. Both are very active in sports and with friends. I stay involved also which I think really helps.
