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.

Bostrom is a great school for students who want a second chance. I had a great experience and all the teachers and staff are a very big help. There is one specific teacher I would like to say thank you too. His name is Mr. Matthew Mendenhall. He helped me open my eyes to see the reality of the harsh world. He has helped me with everything and all my needs and I am proud to say he is one big reason I graduated!
