Bolton High School is a really small school, with not a lot of diversity. There is no football team, and not many clubs to join. The cross country program is fantastic, but that is it for sports. There are very minimal APs, so in order to further your education you have to turn towards AP courses through Virtual High School (VHS). Overall, not a lot of classes are offered so it is hard to meet requirements for some schools and majors when applying to college.

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!
