During my experience at Blue Ridge I believe we've become a great community. During hard times our Blue Ridge family has learned to come together and take care of one another. Including, students, teachers, and administration. I'd love to see better academics in Greenville County schools in general. While I lived in New Jersey I felt more prepared for college with how difficult there academics were compared to South Carolina.

Blue Ridge High School was overall a great experience for me. The teachers were very kind and willing to help with anything I was having trouble with, rather it be with classes or preparing for graduation. They had various sports and other extracurricular activities to keep students engaged with school, while still helping us with our grades by offering afterschool tutoring.

I really enjoyed my time at BRHS. I loved the community, I felt really cared for in my time. I felt loved and supported all four years. I feel like BRHS could be more diverse, however there is nothing that administrators or district leaders can do about that. I know that BRHS is doing the best they can. And they make every student feel included.

Both my older kids go to Blue Ridge. They have great grades and are challenged constantly to work hard. I have heard of other children struggling socially and on some classes so it all depends on each kid experience.

Teachers and student body is great but Administration is terrible and corrupt. No fairness when it comes to being a senior and transitioning to post-secondary education.
