My experience at bonners ferry high was adequate I guess. Mostly lame. A few teachers love what they do and they care about the students. The rest, well, I guess they need jobs so... I didn't have lots of friends because most of them were doing drugs or vaping in the bathrooms or the back of school. I had one teacher that had "favorites" and if you weren't in that group you were kind of screwed. He no longer works there so good for all the upcoming students.

The school has a good sense of community and pride seen in the student body and the teachers. There is a powerful level of passion for teaching and a level of comfort that at this school.

Honestly, there should be more guest speakers throughout the year to prepare all students for the real world. As well as guest speakers who talk about bulling and how to treat people. The community is amazing when it comes to suppoerting the high school, but there needs to be more support form its students.

Some of the teachers are great, but others aren't. As a past student, the high school felt like they were trying to put everything against me and not pushing me to do better. My experience wasn't the greatest but other students knew this and just abused how broken the system is. The thing I like abo...
