1/26/2025
Didn't really talk to anyone throughout my entire four years here so it was a very isolating experience but I had some teachers that were really nice. Most of the classes were good
12/2/2024
The admin at Bellingham High School needs more accountability for their actions, we have had a couple administrators continue to work at our school after not reporting SA, this has lead to a distrust in our administration. Otherwise a great school and experience.
7/4/2024
I liked it but there were way too many instances of faculty especially the administration ignoring blatant bullying, harassment, and the like. Also the Music and Art's department need more funding. They need to pay the teachers more. Though I'm glad they even have facillities even if sometimes they need to be fixed. Also while lunch wasn't great, some of it wasn't that bad you had to plan what days you wanted school lunch so you could actually eat something.

My kids have received engaged and excited teachers, adminstrators and staff. They are both musicians and the programs are excellent. All the extracurriculars are also stellar and well run.
6/4/2015
Very pleased with BHS. By the time kids get to high school, they should know what they need to do to succeed, and be accountable for their actions. I feel that kids (young adults) should be encouraged to think independently, but have enough guidance so they don't fall through the cracks. I also thin...

An admin that encourages student leadership, an efficient & friendly front office staff (which cannot be underestimated), and a solid community of coaches, teachers, parents, and students work together at BHS to build what I have observed to be an extraordinary experience for students. BHS has compe...

I don't recommend this high school unless you are prepared to completely conform to their ideologies and cheer along. The administration doesn't know how to deal with real problems and real people. They have some very nice teachers, but also some awful ones. The current principal has a number of bac...
