The school is getting new additions and renovations to correct the poor conditions and old sewer systems.Im hoping for a school that the children deserve . For the most part the teachers are very good at what they do

I'll be glad when it's all done and we can not have guilt over sending our kids into a school that stinks and has a heating system that has been known to not light on occasion. Yes it's an old pilot light that has to be lit and has had to be repaired on several occasions.I hope we will finally have a school to be proud of. The new principal is trying very hard and seems to have genuine concern for the kids. Read less

I think that the school has come a long way in the past couple of years. The teachers are wonderful and the principal is super nice. I just think that if more parents get involved in school activities they would see a big difference in how things go. I agree about the lunches my kids come home starving

If you have any concerns about the school i suggest that you go and meet with the principal and discuss your concerns with her. I'm sure that she will do anything she can to take care of your problems. I give the school a 5 star rating. Please voice your opinion. They don't know how your feel unless you speak your mind. This is a great school. Check it out. Read less

My children had to leave another county school due to zoning restrictions and I was fearful of what Bulls Gap would be like. However, I found that I was more pleased with this school than the first. All of the teachers I have encountered seem to love these children. The new principal this year is
... Read more really down to earth. (no goody-goody people here). The building is going to be renovated and added to beginning in 2008. As far as education, I can't say that I have figured that all out yet but I have noticed that hand-writing is stressed at this school and the other school never mentioned it. My kindergartner is using lined paper to practice and in class. I never could understand why it was never used in the other school. Although, the accelerated reading program does not seem to be as important at Bulls Gap. Read less

It should be noted that the principal referred to in prior comments has been replaced by a competent, caring and professional one. The other problems, however, remain: unsanitary bathrooms, lunch menus with unappealing, meats and vegetables, plus a curious shortage of popular items, such as salads and

But in all due respect, there are some caring, dedicated and memorable teachers there who genuinely care about the children, and they shouldn't be overlooked. Read less
