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.

It was awesome had a lot of really good teachers but there were also some bad ones as well. Just the environment and community was awesome and sports and everything were good and it was a good fun experience that I think has prepared me for college.

I love the diversity and the environment at Bolivar High School. Bolivar has been my home all of my life and I have loved every second of it. The sports programs are fantastic and there are so many classes that you can take. It gives you so many opportunities to thrive and decide what you want to do with your life.

Overall, I really liked Bolivar High School. They had the obvious tweaks that needed to be fixed here and there. But overall it's a great school. I felt that the education that I was provided from this school prepared me well for my next chapter in college. Bolivar is also one of the few schools that is pretty much good in every sport. They take each sport seriously and it shows in competions or games.

The bullying doesn't just include student...
