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.

There is no bad to B B Comer. I transferred from Sylacauga and let me tell you it was the best decision I've ever made. I went from being bullied to popular in school, from being quiet to being loud and heard, from not smiling to smiling, from not knowing anyone to knowing everyone. This school accepts you for you.

It is a small school, but the teachers really do care about your education. They work extremely hard to give the students some of the opportunities bigger schools have to offer. It feels like a family.

B.B.Comer has many clubs and activities to participate in. They also provide multiple opportunities to go to colleges or career days. They only bad thing about the school is that they seem to focus more on dress code and other stupid things rather than our education. They will take us out of class just because out shirt was tucked in or a phone was out on the table, not even being used.
