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.

Over all, my school is pretty great. There is a good variety of classes, both STEM and Arts classes. The teachers are all nice, respectful to students, and will do their best to help students who ask for help or are struggling. The students are, for the majority, are welcoming and kind to people regardless of race, religion, being apart of the LGBTQ+ community, etc. If parents want a school where their child will feel accepted and safe this school is highly reccomended.

Leaving BCHS I felt p...
