School Reviews
| 5 This is a great school. I am an athlete this is one school. I would definitely recommend. - Posted by Student/Alumni - unknown |
| 2 I am a current student at BCCS. This school may be great academically, but its behavior issues between students and bullying speaks a lot louder than their academics. This school is full of drama. So if you do not want your child around drama or bullying, I personally do not recommend this school. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Anonymous |
| 2 While this school is great in the academic area, you are nothing if you are not a teacher's kid or an athlete. Bullying is quite a buzz word, but it is like a plague at this school. A few teachers are very caring and supportive, but the majority pretend that this bullying is mere "play". Please be cautious. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Green |
| 5 I am A parent looking for a great school to put my child in and i recommend this school you will see my child next year she will be a 10th grader - Posted by Parent - juicy |
