School Reviews

BMS has changed a lot over the last several years; I'd say drastically in the last 2 years. Yes, it's a diverse school but lately more focus is on certain ones. So much so, that I have a feeling it's hurting them academically. I would've expected a lot more students on the Principal's List & Honorary Roll than there was for the last 9 wks. And one more thing, the school needs more teachers like Mr. Powers! The music department won't ever be the same w/o him.
