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.

My high school year started during Covid in August of 2021. Within two weeks of school starting I was positive for Covid and quarantined at home for eleven days. From that moment on I have struggled with school. My teachers have done their best to help me catch up but my parents ended up hiring private tutors to help me with mathematic classes. Our school is very passionate about sports and BETA. We have several state champions in many areas of our school

I have been a part of the Bleckley County school system since I was 4 years old. I obviously do not remember much from my younger years but my high school experience has been like no other. I remember being so nervous on my first day of high school, but after that first day, it was smooth sailing. The staff and people at BCHS are just the best. They care for all of the students, and you are not just a number. They get to know you and grow relationships with you that last a lifetime. They offer so many different sports, clubs, activities, and classes. There is something for everyone at BCHS, and that is what I love most about it. I am sad to leave, but grateful for the time I was given in the Bleckley County school system.

I have gone to Bleckley schools my entire life, and always faced bullying and harassment by both students, and t...
