Over all, this is a pretty good school. Nice athletics department and decent communication from teachers. Most of the teachers are nice and care about their students’ learning. Only negative note is that they seem to have some problems with knowing when kids are doing things they shouldn’t be. For the sake of this review, I won’t talk about anything specific that has happened. It just looks to me like there’s a lot that goes unseen by the faculty. Another thing that I like about this school is that they have a student resource officer on campus at all times, and he has a great relationship with the students. This just makes me feel really safe. I’m in seventh grade, and while junior high has been a bit of a rude awakening to me as far as realizing how the world actually works, this school has been really inviting and helpful.

Might as well write your kids off if they aren't in the sports program. The school doesn't care if your kids are bullied unless your child stands up for themselves. Horrible admin and staff, all they care about is the test and how good they can do on it.

Wish I had moved my child sooner. He excelled at his new school. His complete "being" improved. Unless your child is a football player, I do not recommend this school.

My sister went to school here and she hated it sooooo—but then we moved so idk. But there’s a courtyard with an open roof and I don’t like that because reasons.

I would say it's been pretty good I am going to be a freshman next school year, so i have one more year. I like the theater program and the step team, but the pep rallies are boring and they only give step team 2-4 minutes to perform which isn't fair because the cheerleaders get the whole time to perform , and the cheerleaders do the same things each pep rally each school year since I've been here. Some kids do gossip obviously there has been minor picking bullying, but nothing too extreme also I've NEVER been bullied. There has been vaping issues at the school last school year there were girls vaping in the bathroom and they got in school suspension , and something else. Also the pep rallies they are pretty much doing the same thing every time. But they are renovating the school so it's going to be bigger and better looking by next school year. The teaching could be better some teachers just put the notes on the board then we copy them, then we do some school work , or homework. 1-10 i would rate my experience a 9.5 because of the teaching and activities. Also the sports are not bad but the try outs from my twin brothers experience can be pretty intense.

The school could be so much better. The teachers are biased, the students can be cruel and cold, and I frankly hated almost every second of it. During my Seventh Grade year I wasn`t picked on much, but one of my best friends was. The called her emo and a freak and she cryed almost every day. I left to be home schooled for 8th grade this year and am going to return to BJH on Monday. During my time in homeschool all my friends are the victims of bullying. The staff does nothing about the bullying and it makes me mad. The staff treats kids like me like the students do, if they don`t like you they ignore you. They like the 'popular kids' better than kids like me 'the nerdy wierd kids'. If it were up to me, I would never go back.
