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.

The school is dirt poor. I enjoy going there. The teachers are a mixed bag but the good ones make you love learning and it's obvious to see that they care about their students. It seems like most of the funding is poured into sports and overlook other things like the music, theatre, and art departments. The school could always be better but all in all I've enjoyed the time I've spent there.

The teachers at Bledsoe are very nice and will help you with anything. They include everyone in everything. It is a small school so everyone knows everyone, and that is a good thing.

Bledsoe County High School wasn't a terrible experience, but it wasn't the best either. There are only about 500 students at my school, therefore funding is very low. I feel like I'm prepared for college, but since Bledsoe is a small school, I'm not excited for a big city.
