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.

Overall a good school but it has many bad parts. The teachers are great they really make you feel at home. However, most of the district funding goes to Mayfair High School. The school itself is old and run down. The academics are not any better. Although, you can tell that the teachers and administration are really trying to make it the best.

I attended Bellflower High School/Middle school from 2001-2007, when I graduated. This quality of education, and the quality of teachers that I had during my time at this school were great. If i could turn back time, I would, just to experience it all over again.
