Great school for transitional situations. Some of the teachers are really good; we're lucky to have them.

Transferring my junior year to a much bigger high school it made me realize how much BSHS does not have the tools to offer students when we begin college. Creating certain high school graduation requirements that are unnecessary and make it more stressful then already having to deal with passing your Math, History and English classes. The teachers and staff have the reputation of insulting students and creating scandals over absolutely nothing. Although I as a students am not so innocent, neither are the teachers and staff ,trying to discipline students , when they set the example of immature middle school students and fail to follow the rules them self . This involves DRESS CODE and DEFIENCE problems. Spending school money on renovations that are unnecessary instead of spending money on more supplies such as paper, ending the year with no paper for student use is something that is embarrassing and shows that the school does not have enough control to maintain a well running school. Even using those funds to renovate a new library would have been great for students.

This school sadly is going down the drain quickly. They have had 6 principals in the last 2 years. Many of the teachers are great! Sadly they are overburdened due to poor leadership and "budget cuts". The district office is playing money games at the students expense. It is sad because the school has so much potential, but the school board decided to keep the current naive superintendent who is way in over her head and destroying teacher morale.
