Eagan high school is not where you should be sending your children. I would rather be in high school in St. Louis or Detroit if that says anything. The students (who are the main problem) are mean and racist, and the teachers don't notice unless I tell them. The school lunch is terrible, and the lack of activities is boring. I heard some white students saying a word they shouldnt say. Probably 94 percent of the school is upper class white people, and the parents do not pay for activities. The students do not care about what they are learning and do not listen to the teachers, and have their phones out in class. There are lots of fights and no one stops them.

We LOVE Glacier Hills! I’ve worked in the field of education a long time. I’ve watched my kindergartener grow here both academically and socially. He’s been reading confidently for months! The learning is focused on inquiry - getting kids to focus on critical thinking, how did they arrive at their conclusions, asking good questions. They are really good at helping kids apply what they know to real circumstances. He’s worked on projects you would think a middle or high school student does. It’s a fantastic school. We are very pleased. His teacher is outstanding too. I couldn’t help but shed a small tear at our first conference because she really took the time to get to know my child and has fostered his growth beautifully throughout the year. We couldn’t be more proud to send our child here!

Most of the comments are about the food having insects, spiders being everywhere, safety being horrible, and frequent fights. Compared to other schools the fights are low, stats are high compared to statewide, teachers are respectful and actually help you learn if you do the stuff your supposed to and more. There is a bit of racism around. Slurs are heavily punished and have not heard one in my 3 years. If you are considering enrolling your child at BHMS, it is important not to rely solely on promotional messaging. While the school is not inherently bad, it falls short in several areas and may not be the best option for every student. With significant parental involvement and close monitoring of academics, students can succeed; however, there are other schools that may provide a more well-rounded experience, such as Dakota.The school environment is generally safe, and student behavior is kept under control through strict enforcement, though this approach can sometimes feel excessive rather than supportive. While safety and structure have improved and continue to be addressed, these efforts do not always translate into a positive day-to-day experience for all students. The administration is functional but inconsistent, lacking strong leadership in certain situations.The strongest aspect of BHMS is its teaching staff. Teachers are knowledgeable, dedicated, and do an effective job preparing students for the academic demands of high school and beyond. Instruction is generally thorough, expectations are clear, and educators consistently go beyond minimum requirements to support student learning. There are no widespread issues with drugs, bullying (when concerns are properly reported and addressed), or frequent fights.
