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 moved to BVW High School in my Junior year from another state. The first thing I noticed about the school was the friendship and loyalty each and every student has to the school. Even though some don’t like school (there’s some at all schools) everyone still secretly loves the school and the friendships. BVW is just a big family outside of home. Some would say, it’s a home AWAY from home!
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!
