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.

I overall enjoyed my experience at BVHS. Fabulous teachers cared about my education and pushed me to exceed the standards. The school overall is not super challenging, I was able to graduate an entire year early because of my circumstances. It is difficult to make friends if you come in later as people have known each other since they were in diapers. It is a decent school that offers a decent spread of courses.

I liked how tight-knit the community was. Everyone supported everyone, especially the teachers. I also really enjoyed what BVHS had to offer with academic classes, college coure opportunities, and clubs. I was involved in theatre and band, and the teachers and school district were dedicated to the students.
