Blue Valley West High School offers a variety of AP courses and extra curriculars. Students are encouraged to pursue their interests, and the teachers are very encouraging. The school also makes sure that all students have access to technology by providing each student with a MacBook Air. Blue Valley West is in a very safe location, and there is a lot of diversity among the students.
However, the administrators at the school have failed to acknowledge many students' complaints in the past about unfair treatment and inappropriate comments by teachers. I hope this changes and administrators take their students' feedback more seriously especially when multiple students complain about the same issue.
Overall, my experience at Blue Valley West was very memorable and played a very important role in my education as well as my development as a person. I have made many friends through school activities and clubs. I am also very thankful to my teachers and the staff at Blue Valley West.

I'm from Vietnam and have been to America for a year. Now I'm a freshman girl at BVW high school. For the first time coming to visit BVW, "Woww, this school is huge, everything looks so nice and different than I thought!" Because of Covid-19, I chose hybrid learning. On the first day of school, I was concern about my English and other problems. Those concerns were quickly destroyed by how adorable are the teachers and friends in here. They are super nice and always be ready to help students. I'm very excited about what is waiting for me in the next few years.
I am about to finish my last year of high school at BVW. I think this school is a great option for students to attend because it has amazing opportunities. There is such a wide variety of courses offered, including a program called CAPS which focuses on professional development that is available for any junior or senior in the district to take. Blue Valley West is also a very safe school I would say. There are many precautions taken to make sure every student is safe. There is even a police station right across the street. The only downside I would say is that most of the students come from wealthier families, and sometimes it can be hard going to school with people who have most things handed to them from their families. Also the diversity in the school isn’t that great, the vast majority of students are white. Because BVW is located in a wealthier area, the school is also equipped with modern technology and other extra beneficial assests that aren’t available in other districts.
