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.

Borrego Springs High School is a very good school, as we get taught at a good quality for such a small school it is. Being able to have a good relationship with teachers is one of the things that I love most about my school. Having someone whom you can trust in the school, is so important, as it allows you to feel safe.

At BSHS you will find very welcoming staff and students. I would love to see more education opportunities, such as programs targeting certain majors, or college preparation programs.

While Football will never be cut from the school's offerings, many of the texts are out of date and need updating according to California law. Misspending of...
