I would like to see a lot of the way things work in Bloomfield High School change. For example the policies set in place for students are not entirely fair and getting access to our buildings could be a lot safer than they are.

Bloomfield High School is and was and amazing school throughout the 4 years I was there I have seen things get better and things get worse. I saw academics change a lot in a good way, I have seen the school be more inclusive with its diversity and have clubs for everyone and everything. I would like it to stay as diverse and have so many different opportunities for everyone and just continue being so welcoming.

Honestly , many people would use this opportunity too say everything and everyone that is wrong with bloomfield high but genuinely , this school has shaped me into who i am , which is a future lawyer (hopefully) and just a overall well rounded person. They aren't perfect, and no one is , they are humans figuring it out like the next person. They try their best to try and make school not as laborious as it already is. They care about their students and what they need. They don't want us to fail, they never did. All they ask for is the respect they put out , which i believe they deserve. Bloomfield High is a great school , a little rough around the edges but it will always be home.

If you read this site, you’d think this is an awful school. To the contrary, this is a school that’s student population is welcoming and any student could find a home to flourish here!
