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.

For me the experience is positive. College and Career minded students are usually pretty focused. It is a little more difficult to get students on board that are not college and career minded, but that is a work in progress.

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.

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...
