I have really enjoyed my experience at Blacksburg High School. I think the teachers are very committed to helping the students succeed and there are so many resources to help students accomplish their goals.

This is a pretty good school compared to the schools around me in Montgomery county.

But they just don't give freedom of speech or allow others to speak up about their opinions. but overall my experience was good with teachers but not students because there isn't respect for cultural and religious beliefs.
