My son transfered here from OPRF where he was NOT receiving the support he needed. (Basically OP formed their own judgemental opinions because of his race & he was not the glowing AP honor student whom they prefer) They wtote him off, made him feel below average. It was heartbreaking to see his performance & lack of interest decline further, so... I moved to Bolingbrook. I shared our poor experience at OP with staff/teachers at BB. They welcomed him, gave him the support he needed, included me in weekly updates via email/phone & in person. He is now a Sr. and was accepted into 3 Div 1 Universities where he will also play hockey. I am so proud and very thankful for BB. They are involved & do care about your children. What I've noticed out here in BB, Plainfield & Naperville vs living in OP ...The community has abnormally high standards for everything. Complaining about the smallest things like garbage cans, kids riding bikes on the streets instead of bike paths, fish in ponds dying, coyotes, etc. Lets's learn the word content.. Perhaps if we stop nitpickining /looking 4 issues & focus on embracing the good, BB's school ratings would actually reflect higher.

The school is very great it cares for its students and the bullying rate is very low.

It's easy to conduct a survey based on skewed numbers based on the aftermath of a pandemic. I challenge these outsiders to come into the school and see the hard work and dedication the faculty gives each and every day to the students of B.J. Ward. In our household we believe it takes both the parents and the school administration working together to successfully educate children. My children are doing well at B.J. Ward because their education doesn't end after the school bell rings. I am grateful and appreciative of the staff members of B.J. Ward. Perhaps if give the school had more access to funds and pay teachers more would serve the children better. Creating negative and biased case studies does not help their staff or the students at all. As we have seen over the past 4 to 5 years facts can be embellished easily.
