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.

Bishop Union High school is such an amazing school for such a small town. The variety of classes leaves freedom for the student to decide on what they want and what would help them pursue their careers. The teachers care about every student and are always readily available to help anyone in need.

Overall I enjoy being apart of Bishop Union High School. I am currently a Sophmore attending. I have lived in Bishop since 2013. I am very active in the school playing Tennis and Basketball back to back. With this experience, I travel once a week of 6 months of the school year to different schools. And I have noticed with this travel that our schools is by far the cleanest and most organized. We also have the nicest faculty and student population. Our school is definitely one of the best I have ever been to.
