I am a freshman at Bolingbrook High School and I think it is wondeful. This year we now have the retake policy which allows students to redo homework and tests that they did not do so well on.

Along with the retake policy, students have so many resources for help with school work its not even funny, there is a math lab during every lunch and homeroom period where students can go to retake tests, study, and get help with homework.
