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.

The things I have learned about reading people throughout my high school years will save me a lot of trouble. It will save me when picking friends to hang out with or people to interact with. I have experienced the heartbreak of losing a best friend because of petty drama, but it has taught me who my actual friends are and who want to devour the drama. It has been a blessing to go to the same school for my entire life, however, seeing the same faces every day does get tiring. Being the guinea pig class after COVID-19 has impacted how we learn and how much the teachers actually want to teach. My class has been the runt of the grades, all we try to do is survive the change.

Bland High School is a great place for people that don't like to go to big schools. They have sports that are doing very well.They have agricultural classes that help the bad kids learn that there is something out there that can help them. Bland High School is one of the best places to go to school, they show you how to understand the work,and they have people that show love and care. I had a great time and love this place.I hope my brother and sister learn that this is the best place for them.

Bland High School is really good at connecting the teachers and the students. The reason for this being, it is a small school, so in turn, the teachers know their students. They care for you and want you to succeed. The teachers' goal is to teach you the concepts not to fail you.

I had a very large issue with the teachers being bullies. The food was awful on a good day, for example, I had solid milk several times over the course of the 1 year I attended this school. The students are very judgmental, and cliquey. The only things that really matter to this school are sports an...
