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.

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.

Great school with lots of resources to help guide their students into college, community college, and trade school. Not to mention, most of the teacher are willing to provide extra help to students who might be struggling with an assignment. I personally think that BCCHS was very beneficial to me because it really motivated me to want a higher education for myself and help me plan for my future.

Our school tends to be very welcoming to newer students, with rallies held consistently, and academic opportunities vast in scale. However, support for some of our sports differs for each sport, with some sports being supported more than others.

Both of us were able to finish the year with a 3.8 GPA for her and a 4.0 for me. I am excited for my younger brot...
