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.

Boulder Creek has been a very unique experience, and it has definitely helped me enjoy my high school life. The culture is incredible, and I can always count on my classmates. I really love the flexibility and quality of the curriculum here, plus it is very accommodating. BCHS is truly a phenomenal high school.

I am not finished with this school yet, but I just came here after moving from Oregon. my experience hasn't been too dandy, but hopefully my opinion will change.

I have been a student here for the past three years and I have had no trouble within that time. I live relatively close to Boulder and the campus is very nice and we have very good assemblies, activities, football games, etc. The campus is very safe, and the only issue I've ever had is some of the bathrooms or outside areas not being the most clean but otherwise it's not an issue. The only thing I might like to see change are some of the things like the mirrors in the bathroom or just some little upgrades here and there.

This school has hate filled leaders who are trying to indoctrinate their students rather than teach them. The Principal and the athletic director have nothing but hate in their heart. Terrible, terrible people.

Leave your political brainwashing views out of the school. The young minds should not be hearing your negative political rhetoric! You are paid to educate them with well rounded information!

Outstanding community and community involvement, at the top end the school is fantastic, at the bottom end it is just like any other school, some kids just don't want to learn, but the opportunities are there for all students.
