I like Blackfoot High school because it's a welcoming environment and no one judges there. Although I'm not much of an athlete I still like going to games and showing my pride for being a Mexican American attending Blackfoot high school. Some of the things I don't like is how many rules we have to follow but that's what makes the school a safe environment to learn in. I'm not a person that asks for help often but when I do I know there's always someone who can help me, whether it's a counselor to a teacher or even the principle.

I have had some ups and downs here. Sometimes the food here has made me have an upset stomach and is pricey so It's hard to keep up with payments with the school lunch. Some of the recent changes are hard to keep up with like the flex activity app that they are making us do everyday or we go to lunch detention. But overall I wouldn't want to go to a different school because they give us hour lunches, 3 day weekends, fun activities, and extra.

The best performing arts center auditorium of any high school in the state. Good teachers and a wide variety of great classes. Really good sports! Blackfoot Broncos took state in both soccer and football! Go Broncos! I would choose Blackfoot High over most schools in eastern Idaho. Also, to the pers...

I absolutely LOVE BHS. I noticed a previous review from a parent stating their child was "mocked for a short time he went here because he is Black." I happen to be a Native American student and people there are always very kind to me. I only know two African-American students attending BHS and every...
