I went to this school for 6th and 7th grade and I am so glad covid cut that short. This school is quite literally awful. I got bullied by my teacher and the very same year he won teacher of the year for BMMS. How do you let that happen? I suffered for years from social anxiety following this event and he continues to teach like nothing ever happened. I have never met someone who had a positive experience here. Student violence is constant and unmanaged. Do yourself and your kids a favor and find somewhere else to attend.

This school feels very safe and the special ed aids are VERY NICE! There are not many extracurriculars but the teachers are very supportive and try to help the students do their best.

As an alumni this school has many issues. The students are not excited about learning they race to take as many AP classes as possible without truly engaging and comprehending the material and applications. The goal is to check it off the list. Being of mixed race I found the school to lack diversity and many students displayed racial hostility to non whites. Even worst was the observation that if you were not a product of this community (homegrown) as the locals called it, you were excluded from many opportunities. Sad to see so many of these kids and their families left out. Bullying is rampant in this school both academically from peers and socially between cliques. If you keep below the radar you should have no problems. Save your shine for college when it will be appreciated. On the positive side there are some great teachers there. They have a tough job and do the best they can to prepare you. Take note of the high test scores but very low reviews. Del Norte lacks balance.
