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.

I'm a senior at this school now and I haven't written a single essay till this week. In my three years here, I've met a lot of good people and bad. A lot of the teachers are helpful, so are the guidance councilors. But the thing is that the work I feel is repetitive. We learn about boring things and they make it sound boring. If teachers put effort into making us learn these things and taught us with real world experience to show us in the classroom or demonstrated it to us, maybe it would actually help students instead of having them fall asleep on their desks.

My child has had a great experience at BMS. They have before and after school tutoring and intramurals. There are a lot of clubs including the winter sports club where there is a three week skiing trip every year. The administration is very receptive to parental concerns.
