School Reviews
4 3/23/2019
BSHS is overcoming obstacles to help the students reach beyond expectations for the majority of the students. This school is very diverse and reaches more of the "underprivileged" which is why I love it! There is more that can be done, but this school has been given a bad "rap" and is making its way to be one of the best.
