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.

Throughout my years here my main concern was my safety. The constant fights everywhere aren't surprising at this point. It gets to the point that you almost get used to it. I would love to see a change in the environment and also have better security guards. Most of the security guards here are lazy and don't take their job seriously. As horrible as it sounds some of them even flirt with the students and that's not something I'm comfortable being around.

It was miserable and my parents failed me and my future by putting me here. My counselor informed me of being able to drop myself out of school and encouraged me to do so. Also I was pressured into gang activity, beaten, amd robbed multiple times. If your white, dont do this to your children no matt...

Bloom Trail is certainly making leaps and bounds with curriculum, diffusing behavioral issues, school programing and building a sense of community. I'd say that all the school needs now is for parents to become more involved and assist the district with returning Bloom Trail to its former glory. My...
