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 Blackhawk High School was very good. I participated in many offered activities. There are many academic, sports, music, service opportunities for students. I think my time there has prepared me for my next steps as a college student. I'm not sure what I would change. Our district provided me with good experiences to choose great friends, coursework, sports and other activities.

My overall experience at Blackhawk was good. The safety of the building has improved since they renovated this summer. The teachers are very nice and will help you.

I've had an amazing experience here. This school really enriches students, especially those seeking challenging classes. The teachers here are all great (with some exceptions, but that's the case with all schools).
