This was one of the worst four years of my life, and I just want something to come out of it. Everything I had to deal with, I had to deal with depression my first 2 years of highschool struggling to get out of bed and going to school in the morning.

Your high school years all depend on who you know and how close you get with the teachers. In sports, if you are not on a varsity team, you will not get any help on getting better. All they really care about is the good ones getting better. Even if you are on a junior varsity team, that coach would rather work with varsity than with you. In the education part, it all depends on who your teacher is and how much they like you.

Within my two years at Bloomfield High School i have experienced well rounded education from all teachers. I also have been given the opportunity to access many clubs and sports available within the district. The environment is good for education and social interaction. Bloomfield High School can definitely ready you for college as long as you are putting yourself in the correct environment.

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!
