Great school if your kid is athletic or in music. Tough school if your kids is anywhere in the middle. Way too many kids packed into this school, hard to get individual attention. Wonderful teachers, but overwhelmed by the number of students.

Rating a school for me is about results: Typically, less than 50% of BHS graduates go on to college - less than 35% earn 4 year degrees. Less than 50% of the students take SAT exams - only the best students are encouraged to take such key benchmark tests. 27% of 10th graders are reading below grade

If it wasn't for Bozeman's soft grading policies - the community would be sounding the alarm bells for an overhaul and fast. A's and B's and a diploma from BHS are NOT a meaningful achievement!
