I was able to excel in all my classes as well as my sports. Sports were probably my favorite thing about high school but it was nice the classes were easy to keep up with and understand as the teachers understood we were in sports as well!

This is an amazing school to learn at with a great community and great teachers and great students. I have been here since the 3rd grade never wanted to leave. This is indeed a small school and a lot of people think that it would be impossible to go to a small school or function, but it's actually really easy and getting to know everyone at the school is a good thing. You know everyone and get have good relationships with coaches and other staff. I love this school and I am super happy to be knowing that I will be graduating from here and wouldn't want to graduate from anywhere else.

My experience at Blue Ridge High School has been a great one. We have the best teachers I have ever came into contact with. We have many things for every student, yes most students here have all common interests, but we have everything we need and more. These have been the best four years of my life at this school and it saddens me greatly to leave this amazing facility.

Love the school! 2014-2015 was our first year here however, we have been pretty pleased. We have an exchange student from Germany and everyone has been so accepting, helpful and sweet to her! I was worried about it with BR being such a small school but I have to say I'm impressed at how well they ha...

BRISD was the worst thing that could have ever happened to my education. i just moved to a larger, better school that is up to speed. and because i stayed in blue ridge so long im WAY behind. DO NOT put your children through that.
