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.

Bloom High School is definitely a school where if you want to succeed and push yourself, you will. A lot has to be done on your own in order for you to do well. When in high school, I always had honors classes with amazing teachers who helped out a lot. Counselors really seemed to help out students who were planning on attending college and helped each one of those student have a plan.

I felt like Bloom really prepared me for college life and helped me get comfortable with everything and really prepared me.

When you first start as a freshman, it is a little hard getting the hang of everything. But once you get to know people and be there more you will love it. The food is not so great though, some teachers are mean but others are nice.

I went to Bloom from 1968 to 1971.It was a very enlighting time. Had some very good teachers and wonderful students. What i was able to accomplish at Bloom made it that much easier for me to become the Vice President of a major tire company that I worked for for over 35 years.

First of all, I love almost all my teachers. They're really great at teaching, but the material they're teaching is not challenging. The school I used to go attend, even in the regular classes, was much more rigorous than the honors classes at Bloom. I also do not feel there are as many choices and...
