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's an incredibly small and tight knit school and predominantly white. They try to make it seem like they're all inclusive however, with the amount of white people there, it doesn't really feel like it.

Bolton High is a good school if you like and feel comfortable in the close-knit community. It is extremely clique-y because most students have known each other since kindergarten. There are very few varied classes available and almost no extracurriculars other than athletics.

Teachers in this school go above and beyond. They provided 1 on 1 guidance, and help give confidence to the students. This is a private school level education at a public school. Amazing!

this school has no diversity. for awhile some kids were coming here from the city, but now there are so very few. You have to ask why?
