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.

Blue Hills Regional Technical School is a "Great School". We are working hard at rehabilitating our Athletic Fields and $5,000 would help us to achieve this goal. We have a fantastic athletic program for all our students and our fields are in need of help!
