My experience through this school has been a great one. The teacher are very connecting and fun while still drilling the knowledge that you need to know. As well the admins are so nice and have supported me through my entire college search and highschool career. This is one of the better school in Virginia and knowing I was able to attend here is amazing. It's has truly helped me build a social and academic foundation for the future and has set me up for success in best ways possible. I'm extremely thankful for the experience and will never forgot my days here as it been a time to remember.

Teachers are highly personable and willing to work with you. Post-secondary career planning is great, from community college scholarships, to help with college applications. One thing I love is that counselors will pay for two of our college applications (no fee waiver, just paid by school).

Blacksburg High School is an exceptional school with many teachers who care deeply about their subjects and students. That being said, I've had a decent learning experience here and several of my teachers have made an impact on me and my future endeavors. However, the administration is poor and discipline is absent. There are certain teachers who contribute to a toxic environment along with over involved parents.
