High school is what you make of it. It is full of clubs, athletics and activities for each type of student. I took part in multiple sports as well as the advanced academics and my experiences have been great. I feel well prepared for the next level of education.

Sad excuse for a school and the teachers are an incapable pathetic lot. Put two kids through this school and my older child'S experience here before it became overpopulated was much better than the younger's. Glad I don't have to deal with them anymore.

I've enjoyed my time here so far. I've loved most of my teachers, and the Blackman Collegiate Academy was an amazing way to further my academic journey and make friends who care about school as much as I do.

Both of my daughters are having great experiences at BHS. The health science teachers are excellent. BCA has given them the opportunity to expand their academic skills in a challenging but healthy environment. I’m so thankful to God for the support of this loving community.

This is the worst school! Bullying is a huge problem and they don't do anything about it. They sweep it under the rug so that it doesn't get out and they can continue to be a"great" school. Principal is just awful and is not fit for the job! They also do not really care about your child's education....

My son's experience was terrible! Upper classman males haze and sexually harass younger males and it is over looked. The school is way over crowded and bullying is also a problem!
