I think the best part of BFUHS is that there are some very good teachers, which sadly most of the very good teachers are either leaving or retiring. And I think the worst part of BFUHS is there isn't very much diversity in classes to choose from. I think I would like to see a greater variety in classes, including an AP science class.

BFUHS is a solid school with nice teachers and a large focus on its sports programs. The school has a large variety of classes with different levels and small classes that made me feel more connected with the teachers.

BFUHS has been a great experience for my children. I have a Senior and a Freshman and I feel my senior is ready for college and that my freshman is very challenged.
