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.

My overall experiences at BMHS was pretty good. Ive always had a decent time here. I might be biased since Ive been in the school district my whole life.

I came to this school district for my freshman year of high school. I had immediately felt welcome to the school's environment and enjoyed the learning environment and resources it had offered. As a junior in this school, I still see it the same if not better. I am able to challenge myself and truly grow as a student and a member of society and I am able to do this through what my school has taught me.

Blue Mountain High School has some of the most excellent and challenging courses a high school in my small town could offer. While academics are high, school life itself is low. The school puts a lot of stress on its students, from its demanding environment to its harsh teachers, many kids tend to opt-out for the virtual counterpart of this school.

I moved to this district when my son was in 7th grade, the difference was amazing. He flourished here, wish I would've moved sooner.

My experience as a student at blue mountain high school has been nothing short of a hellish disaster. Kids here are only valued if they are participating in a sport and/ or come from a wealthy or middle/upper class family. Everything is viewed as a popularity contest and the arts is extremely underf...

This school is a giant clique. If you aren't rich or good at sports, you're going to have a terrible time. If you belong to one of these two groups and hang out with someone who isn't, you're going to be mocked back into the fold. Certain compassionate staff members may try to stop bullying and hara...
