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.

overall, I enjoyed my time at bcs it was definitely a new experience. The school does well at accommodating students from all backgrounds. However, I feel like there should be more strategies put in place for teachers not to feel as if they are the only ones doing the job and not the administration passing it off to them.
