Blue Valley North High School Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 373 reviews
The best parts about BVN is the community. There are so many opportunities to meet new people and establish a network of friendships. Additionally, there are many academic opportunities where students are able to showcase their knowledge and skills. While students may be able to showcase these academic achievements, they unfortunately are not appreciated enough compared to the athletics. In these athletics, majority of them are toxic environments designed to discourage beginners who would like to try something new and bring up star athletes. The coaches of the athletics favor these talented athletes and do very little to make the experience enjoyable for new athletes, creating toxic interactions between student athletes.
However, during school hours, the school is well equipped with amazing teachers who help students achieve optimal grades and clear understanding.

Blue Valley North was the #1 school in Kansas when I attended and continues to shape students into productive members of society. The teachers were invested in their students and took time to help all students gain a better understanding of content. If I could do it, I would send my kids to this school!
Blue Valley North High School (BVN) has been a part of my journey since I moved here during my freshman year. Studying at BVN has been a great opportunity for me to getting to meet new people and practice my English. I got help from everyone including my teachers, peers and mentors. There hasn’t been any worst experience for me yet at BVN. One thing that could be changed is that I wish there were more directions for the out of school activities because most people don’t feel comfortable asking others questions. But overall BVN has taught me so much including being polite and respectful towards others, helping and engaging in fun group programs etc.
