I attended Bellflower High School and just recently grduated. I will admit when I first started attending BHS I wasn't very happy with some of the teachers. They didn't get the message they were trying to teach across very well and my grades were slipping. In my 10th grade year our new principal Mr.

Now when students litter they get citations from on campus sherriff's. Discipline is always taken care of in a timely manner with fair consequences and the administration isn't unfair in their treatment of all students. I will miss some of the teachers who aren't going to be there, but the teacher's I have met in my life at BHS have encouraged me to go for what I want. Read less

I am a former student of Bellflower High (Class of 1990). I have lived in Bellflower for many years and formed a family here. Through the years I heard from other parents how unsafe and scary my former school had become. When it came time for my eldest to attend 7th grade, my first intention was to move

The availabiliy of academic programs such as AP, Honors and Avid classes not to mention sports and music makes this school great. I only wish that they would make classrooms as large as in the 90's, You have the space! The test scores do not matter since some students do no try their best. I believe teachers should enforce parent involvement. Kudos! Read less

I have been attending Bellflower High for a couple of years and it really isn't as bad as it may seem. It ultimately depends on whether that specific student is motivated to learn or not. If the student cares about getting good grades then Bellflower High School will be a good education for them because
... Read more they offer AP classes and are able to be around students who actually care to learn. Through hard work it is possible to go to Ivy League. Two guys in the class of 06 went to Yale and Stanford! From my experience, the regular classes are below average simply because everybody slacks off, but if you're student attends honors and AP classes there shouldn't be too much of a problem. The school's test scores are low only because there are plenty of students who bubble in whatever, which falsely represents the school quality of education. Read less

My child has been attending bhs as a 7th grader as of 2006. Iam concerned to see my child attend a non middle only-school. I have been observant and involved with my childs teachers so far. I know this school has new admin and will continue to support them. I know for a fact that parent involvement is

As a parent i also acknowledge that teachers aren't responsible for teaching our kids manners or morals or proper behavior,nor should they endure lack of respect from the students. In my opinion bhs has issues to improve however, we as parents have them to. We can't expect for the schools to work well in-dependent of our participation. Get involved in any way you can! Read less

As a recent former student, Bellflower is a horrible school with teachers that are not motivated. There are few exceptional teachers. Bellflower is very diverse and that makes it very diffilcult to teach students. The new principal is making many changes so if your children are young and the current
