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.

Our family is in our fourth year at BHMS. The school continues to improve each year, and the academic offerings have expanded significantly. The teachers are immensely dedicated, and the leadership is solid. Both my daughters have shown significant improvement academically each year.
