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.

The teachers are supportive and understanding of each and every student, but the system fails both them and the students. They aren't able to teach at full potential. The academics level is average, and same goes with diversity. Theres also a lot of clubs and electives to take part in.

It is a great school with dedicated teachers. My daughters both graduated from BBHS, and they loved it.
