Ive been at Blue Mountain Union School since ive been in kindergarten. The school faculty is mediocre along with the school's resources and availability of courses. Teachers are often lazy but since all the students have been together in each grade most classes are tightly knit together. School lacks on soccer resources but when it comes to baseball the school has plenty of money to hand out. Other wise on an education standpoint the school struggles with giving a thorough education and understanding.

Blue Mountain is an extremely small school where everyone knows everyone else. It's nice to have a small community. Good education important part of our school, though the math department has been suffering lately. The school is not perfect but It works hard to be the best it can be.

The only thing that doesn't make me give them 5 stars is the fact that they don't think about newbies. The school is geared towa...
