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.

Being a senior at Bowling Green High is a honor. The best part would be how our school strives in putting effort into everything we do. They know how to get us ready for the next steps. I know I can always find someone to talk about anything. Whether it's a question about college or high school. This school really doesn't have many things I would change. I do think one thing for sure I know other classes can do is keep the school spirit up and always be willing to show up and support and cheer on our school. But I am so glad to have had the opportunity to be part of an amazing school for the last four years. I know this school will keep leading to success in future.

I have attended Bowling Green High School since my freshmen year, which began in 2021. Because I was a freshman while COVID was still booming, our school adapted well, preventing the spread of germs to the best of their abilities. This school has provided me with a diverse education and prepared me for the future.

My experience here at Bowling Green High School was quite nice, it provided students with many opportunities such as a wide variety of ap classes, good teachers, and many clubs. I would say that this school did not assist students all to much in learning about these opportunities, with a couple classes and most clubs being told to the students by the teachers providing them causing many students to miss out on these opportunities. i would like to see a greater effort to get students to participate in classes or clubs by informing students about the opportunities provided.

I went to BGHS for all four years, and while things certainly could've been worse, it was not a particularly good experience. Most kids were mean, most teachers were apathetic, and the curriculum was far too easy. There were exceptions--teachers that could actually inspire students, or were at least...

I moved out of state to Bowling Green High School and my family and I picked this school based off the positive reviews--all false, people in Bowling Green have a warped communal mindset that BGHS is the best high school around. Bowling Green high school makes me feel like I am at a juvenile delinqu...
