I am a single parent with 4 children attending BCS. I have been more than pleased with teachers and the quality of education they are receiving at BCS. Many teachers and administration have been excellent role models for my children. When I became a single parent the teachers and administration at

It is a great sacrifice financially to have 4 children at BCS because I'm disabled but it is well worth every sacrifice. It isn't perfect but no school is. For us it has been a huge blessing.

We have put three children through BCS from Kindergarten on up. Two have graduated and one is enjoying yet another solid year. It is an immense sacrifice to do this, yet we obviously believe in the value of our investment. We found one of the other 'reviews' disturbing but not surprising. The school

This school has problems like any other school, especially because people look at it as a 'reform school' for their kids who get kicked out of public schools. But, Blackhawk opens its arms to those kids that are viewed as 'problem kids' at other schools. That has its negatives, but my 3 children have

My rating on the school is very low. The principal had no idea what was going on under his own nose. The cheating problem was out of control. Substance abuse was a growing problem that Longbrake did not want to deal with or chose to ignore. Even though this was supposed to be a christian school,

But there were those who chose to have their favorites or turn their heads and look the other way. Academically, the school was perhaps slightly above public school. The advantage they had over public was the student to teacher ratio. As for culturally diverse, they made no attempt to teach other cultures, and it is primarily a white school. Our child graduated 98. Read less
