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.

The lack of people that go there are both the bad and the good side. It's like you are interacting with close family and friends everyday. The school could use some new teachers though.

Bluefield High School is overall a great school. Most of the teachers are super encouraging and really good at what they do. My school, though, is an older building and we do not have much. As a more poor school I would like to see an advance in technology and more options in electives for students to take. I would also like to see the school updated in many aspects being that most of everything is an older model.

My son is going into this school at the beginning of this year, so I really don't know much about this school yet.
