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.

The people I met and the teachers who helped me get where I am today are the best things that ever happened to me. This school has anything and everything you could want. Want to build stuff? We have robotics and an architect class. Want to draw, multiple levels of art classes. From sports to the arts to education, this school has it all. I'm very happy to say that my younger sister is now a freshman at BVH, and I can't wait to see her thrive. I do wish, however, that the school was a little more green. More plants and bushes would be so much better, compared to the dirt and cement that are there currently.

I would love to see more funding for the betterment of our school environment. Compared to other schools in our district, we are very run down and old. Our bathrooms are closed down, we don't have enough benches or tables for everyone. However, I think my school has a really good school culture. Although there are some parts where it is a bit toxic, overall I think there is a genuine care at my school even if its a tiny bit.

The atmosphere there is quite nice, however the buildings are not. The school is long overdue for remodeling.

I’ll be graduating this June and I can say that I’m so glad I went BVHS. It’s bar the best school in the district. I’m in the IB program so the rigor stood out to me to most. It’s a school that offers its students what they like. Whether it’s sports, or theater, choir, speech and debate, mock trial;...

Its a shame that this day and age that racial injustice is still being tolerated and accepted! How successful can a student be in this type of learning environment?
