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.

Average small high school. Needed more consistent teachers. I had many teachers leave during my time and it made the district seem lacking because they couldn't keep their teachers.

Attended BVHS from 2012-2016. Overall a good experience, but I wish I had gotten involved in more of the activities offered sooner and had come out of my shell ASAP rather that right at the end of my time in high school.
