It was good for the most part, but my counselor wouldn't let me take a class I felt necessary for my career and later found out if I took that class that I could have gotten scholarships to my college. Most of the teacher were nice but there were a few that turned out to be creeps.

I had overall had a good experience in this school. I had a great resource that allowed me to go to community college to get a little bit of what college is like and my councilor was very helpful with me and actually talked to me very often and was always willing to talk anytime I needed her

My overall experience at Bloom Trail High School can described as challenging. For most of my time here, I was working on plenty of assignments at once, which to be honest was a bit stressful. I will say that the AP classes did achieve what their goal, which was to get me ahead slightly faster.

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...
