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.

Overall, I loved my experience at Bear Grass Charter School. I know everyone that I go to school with and we are a tight group, we know each other very well.

Bear Grass Charter School is hands down the best high school to attend and I'm so thankful my family sent me to this school. The people at Bear Grass are like family, making sure I felt a sense of comfort all the time. I am very thankful for the opportunity to be a dual enrolled student while soaking in every great memory at this school. If it wasn't for Bear Grass Charter School, I wouldn't be going into my freshman year at college as blessed and as thankful for the education I received throughout my middle school and high school years.

It was good and bad at times. I wish there was more money put into things like the bathroom, as the place wasn't clean sometime. Also, just wish some of the teachers were more committed to teaching their students instead of pulling up notes for them to copy. The dress code for girls I wish was more lenient as well, there were times I'd sweat all day because I had to wear pants instead of nice breezy shorts on a hot day. At the end of the day, I did meet some good people there though.
