Great School. I have twins and they recently graduated BMS. They were inducted to the National Junior Honor Society which I believe is a testament to the quality of teachers & education they received. Dr. Frost, the principal does a wonderful job. It's obvious she cares about each student as I have witnessed it dozens of times. Both my daughters appreciated the individual attention they received from their teachers. I wish to thank the teachers & the staff individually, however there are too many to mention. Without hesitation, I give this school 5 stars.

One of the best schools in the district due to their recent proficient scores on State wide assessments and their VPA program

Worst school I've ever seen. No one seems to know what is going on. Admin is nearly impossible to get answers from. A lot of the students are rude and out of control. There isn't any type of real security. Despite their academic and gifted programs I wouldn't recommend this school for any child.
