This school has really gone down hill. The administration is lacking. They simply don’t deal with any issues. There are constantly fights. The bathrooms are not only filled with vapes but now it’s moved to weed since they never handle it and don’t even attempt to.

There are very few teachers left that actually teach or have an interest to. They do not prepare the students for college in any way. In fact the children with above average grades are left to slip the the cracks and completely on their own due to the amount of below average students being so high.

My child is reported absent consistently when in attendance. I receive calls from her several times a week that she’s unattended in classes without a teacher or any adult present. I do not feel my child is safe while there and have now made other arrangements for the rest of high school education. If I had known then what I know now I would have homeschooled from day one of moving here. Close Quote

BSHS is a small high school with a lot to offer in spite of the lack of government resources. The teachers are caring, like to challenge the students, and dedicated to their jobs. The principals are always around for the student body as well as the teachers. Most students are very respectful and many of high achieving students. An education is only as good as the student's dedication and drive and BSHS pushes its students to achieve greatness! Close Quote
