Blackduck Secondary is a great place to attend high school. The staff and students are extremely friendly and you get a great quality education from here as well. My personal favorite part of Blackduck Secondary is our 4 day school week. I used to be on the 5 day school week at other schools and I remember being totally exhausted after the week was done. On the 4 day school week I noticed that I learn a lot more and I am not as stressed out. Thank you Blackduck for giving me so many opportunities.

The school has an anti non tolerable bullying program, but it seems as though a lot of bullying is dismissed and/or goes unnoticed. It also may be awkward to turn someone in for bullying, because there is no way to anonymously do it, so there is a fear of people finding out and bullying you for being a tattle-tale. The school had the right idea, they just have to become more consistent.

The academics of this school are great however the general student population is apathetic and dramatic, even though the faculty are helpful.
