As a recent graduate from Blue Valley West High School, there were some definite pro's and con's. As a student I ran Cross Country, Track, and Diving, I would say overall my experience at Blue Valley West High School was positive.
Great neighborhood nearby, teachers are nice and love to help their students. One of my favorite things as someone who deals with a learning disability BVW is very accommodating to the students with disabilities, the list goes on and on!
Hope this helps anyone is considering BVW! Go Jags!

I have had a fantastic experience at Blue Valley West High School, I have learned countless valuable lessons over the past four years from not only my teachers but also classmates that set outstanding examples. The four cornerstones of BVW are family, pride, grit, and excellence. I have experienced each of these cornerstones during my time here. I have made amazing relationships that will carry over into my adult life and I could not be more thankful for that. I wouldn't have wanted to spend my highschool career anywhere else!
I attended Blue Valley West all four years of high school, and looking back I truly loved (almost) every minute of it. The school is directly across from a police station for starters which always seemed to ensure a sense of security among students. The school offers lots of different after school programs such as sports, clubs, and performing arts. They also have a phenomenal selection of courses, as well as specialized options to fit your educational needs best. This school has some amazing technology accessible for students, and some amazing opportunities for students to become more involved within their community. The sense of family among students is real, and the tradition passed through generations still lives on today.
