I love my school. The atmosphere is great, the teachers are spectacular. I can't imagine going to a different school. I am involved in the music and arts and they are definitely some of the best places in the school.

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.

I recieve an outstanding education with caring teachers. I would like to see them change their dress code that is bias to female students.

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...
