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.

For AICE (honors) students, it's a great school. One of the best out there for honors students. The teachers and other AICE faculty members actually care about the students and actually try to ensure the best future going forward for them. The regular course students though, are quite the opposite. While there are a select few teachers who care regardless, most of the school tend to favor the honors students over the regular course.

My time at BHS was a very formative experience. I recommend the school to anyone in the PC area looking for a valuable and worthwhile experience with not only high quality educators but also a culture of belonging.
