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.

So far Boiling Springs has been ok. I loved part-taking in activities like mini-thon and other events. The worst part I would say is the food and some parts of the building like the gym and the gym locker rooms. I would love to see the gym and gym locker room be changed into something more usable.

BSHS is preparing me for college and life in my career field. The teachers are professionals dedicated to education. All adults in the building support students and students' education.

As a former student of Boiling Springs high, I can say that this school went far beyond my expectations. I went into high school thinking it was going to be uncomfortable and confused. The students and teachers will do everything they can to make new students of any race, feel at home. In my junior...
