Well it's been a good experience. But the only thing I do worry about is how we maintain our school and also how there's a lot of people that do t follow the rules of this school from time to time. But over all I've met some amazing teachers. Like Mrs Rosen, Mrs Holland, Mr tomasek, Mr mills and the staff like all the lady's in The guidance office are just supper sweet and amazing. They make feel welcoming and help you with anything you need. Mrs Quintana our vice principal is just super sweet and amazing person. She has a very outgoing personality, this school has been a very supportive.

I enjoyed my time at BUHS. However I think students are not pushed hard enough to achieve academic excellence, and those not in Honors/AP classes are often disregarded and left behind. Schools should always encourage their students to the best of their abilities, not only prioritize those who are already set up for success.

This public school is very well to there students and faculty. There is a small amount of students that attend this school compared to other public schools. The athletics at this school arnt as well as other schools and we arnt offered to play year round but we play schools that are evenly as good. The staff if very helpful and the amount of 1 on 1 with teachers we are provided it amazing.
