I liked how BCHS was so small that I knew everyone from Freshmen to Senior year. It was amazing how close everyone could get if they tried.

The teachers are lazy, and answer to no one. They are allowed to run the school in whatever way they feel. There is no authority at this school. The principal wants to be the kids' buddy, and the school board is a joke, doing nothing of consequence. There are only 2 dual credit courses. The English department is dismal at best, and the math program is headed that way quickly. Science is decent, but does not make up for the overall failure of this school system.

SAT scores are low and students are unprepared for college to say the least. Bullying causes such difficulty some kids ne...
