GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Did running start as soon as I could. Overall an environment where administration picks favorites. I would not recommend sending your kid to this high school. It is the one high school in whatcom county that doesn't spread out to have relationships with other schools. Small town school can only provide you with so much.

It’s been a couple of years and so far the experience at BHS has been a positive one. The teachers and staff are very supportive and kind. The atmosphere is energetic and welcoming. Communication has been great and my child is doing well.

BHS is run down...
