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.

Both of my children have attended BCS from Kinder. They are totally different students and BCS has more than met their needs. The teachers make the difference. They are engaged and genuinely care about every learner. The theatre, arts, PE , music teachers are all top of their field. It is truly a special school and I will be forever grateful for having gotten a spot in the lottery.

I won't get into the debate of whether Bullis charter getting public funds is justified because that is a completely separate topic and better suited for Twitter and Facebook. This is an objective review of the school as it exists for a parent considering it for their kid.The standard of education i...
