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.

Some of the reviews are almost guaranteed to be completely fake. All of my children have went to Bolton throughout there lives and all three have had a terrific time. The teachers are all friendly and willing to help and try to prepare the students for what is ahead in their lives something that was not given to me when I was in school. The small class sizes are also great because it gives the opportunity for each and every student to be given a more personalized plan for them to succeed.

I’m a current student at bcs. I have been since kindergarten, and although there have been rough patches, I like my school for the most part. There’s teacher I don’t like as much, but there are teachers at bcs that I think every student should have the privilege to learn from. Most of the staff care...

Terrible. Like many others, we moved from this town to go to a more diverse school that has a no tolerance policy for bullying.
