This school does not push students to excel. I was able to graduate in 2005 without having taken biology, calculus, physics, chemistry. I failed Algebra 3 times and I was still able to graduate on time and even got to have a free period my senior year. I was completely unprepared to take on other students at the University level.
Since my time at BHS, standards have been lowered in the Math and Science departments and the school week has been cut down to 4 days.
This is not the place to send your children if you wish for them to go far in their education. Close Quote
