These were the most frustrating two years of school experience for us. There is NOT a high standard at this school unless your child is at risk. We had several bad experiences w/ four teachers. Administration was slow acting. P.E. clothes were stolen 2x and staff blamed my child instead of taking

I was a student at BPJH from 2006-2008. Right now, I currently attend Troy with full IB and Tech with no problems and I know many people with Sunny Hills IB.

Some fail to realize that the lack of parent involvement is due to the fact that many parents are busy working. Through the people I met here, I found how lucky I was to be born to my family. I never regret attending BPJH. Read less

Overall, BPJHS has been a great experience. Read less
