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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

As a graduate, i can say that my experience was rocky but not because of the school or administration because of me, but i had grown to make a relationship with my counselor and she was the best i could've ask for! she made my years worth it

From what I've seen, the music department at the High School is excellent; the marching band is one of the best programs at the school. Along with this, the BHS is one of the most diverse schools in the state of Illinois. The best parts of BHS are the opportunities available for anyone. The BACC classes held there are amazing jumpstarts to get ready for the future.

BHS is a very middle-of-the-road school. Decent facilities, decent AP offerings, decent curriculum. Most of the teachers are amazing, but there are absolutely a few bad eggs.
i am a student here, and my experience at this school is not the best. Definitely better than BJHS, but still not a big improvement.I am a disabled, trans, lesbian student who is discriminated against by teachers, students, and other staff almost every day.
