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.

Having a high school experience in my opinion is a crucial part of growing up and flourishing into an adult. As for me and my experience I would say it was overall a good one. I enjoyed many fun things such as good teacher interactions, fun activities provided to us by staff, and the amazing experience of school sports. My worst part however would have to be taking the ACT, its horribly boring and I don't test well so overall for me it was a bad experience. Things I would like to see change in my High School would just have to be the diversity, it would be nice to see more people of color and other ethnicity join our community.

I could've been better but overall it's been alright. I think the teachers could have more involvement with the students.

I've had a good experience at BHS. Things that I would change would be trying to focus more on others futures and trying to help more. they have this year i'm sure that it'll get better through as well. Another thing that I would like to see changed is "phones" and be more strict, some kids don't care and still get on their phones without caring what the teachers have to say. Also as being more strict some of these kids are very disrespectful and out of line at times, I personally feel like becoming more strict could help these kids or telling them what they're doing wrong instead of just giving them a slap on the wrist. That's all i've have to say.
