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.

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.

For me I've had a really isolating experience being a LGBTQ and "uncool" student. I really enjoyed a lot of my classes and opportunities but bullying and fights here are so bad. Preparation for college is so-so. Counselors are bad about helping you with your transcripts and colleges unless you heavily push communication day-to-day.

Bone Springs high school is a true home to me. The faculty and staff are very welcoming and nice. I feel so supported here and loved. I will always be thankful for the academic assistance that is provided and opportunities that is provided for me. The school spirit here is something to feel something to enjoy. I feel very safe here. I have never felt any off springs or anything. This is truly an amazing school.
