A G West Black Hills High School

The teachers at this school do not do their part to contribute to academic success. They are unprofessional, and unload their personal issues in the classroom. The principals esp the assistant, is incompetent and doesn’t do his job. I’m very surprised that the school doesn’t have someone from the district viewing things in a way to see what truly goes on. It saddens me for the youth that this is what the option is for public school. A waste of tax dollars for subpar teachers that don’t like to teach, are unsupportive and incompetent.

Good school for honors students especially students in AP English and history. However students with learning disabilities were often left behind and forgotten about. Almost seemed the school did not care unless you were going to a university.

Good overall academic achievement and opportunities for students.

The most bullying I’ve ever seen, several rapists attend/attended bhhs and administrators did absolutely nothing to stop the issues of reoccurring incidents

I started at BHHS when I was a freshman. First time being in the district, as well as new to Tumwater. Before this I went to Curtis Junior High. However, the difference between the two is that Black Hills was far more welcoming than that of Curtis. Having been constantly bullied at Curtis, this was a welcoming change for me. Academics are also easier to grasp and the teachers are very helpful and awesome, even if a few do pick favorites. Having a GPA of 2.5 at Curtis even with working as hard as I could, a GPA of 3.5 at Black Hills marks one of the reasons of how teachers try to make their students understand the material. There's a ton of school spirit, the Fine Arts Program is amazing. There isn't a social hierarchy of cliques (unlike Curtis) and the student body tries to get everybody involved and no one is left out. There's something for everybody. The best thing about this school is Perception Day (If you go to BHHS, you know what I mean). As a senior, I'm more than glad to be graduating soon from a school that can have a positive and safe environment. The only minor flaw is that there's not too much diversity. Other than that, BHHS all the way!
