Bullitt Lick is no longer a bad school. It is an awesome school with a determined principal, a dedicated and friendly staff, and great discipline throughout. It has completely turned around from its past history. Academics grades are rising fast. Social life and sport activities are all over the board.
Great school!!!! Close Quote
