Bonney Lake High School is an average school when it comes to academics. But when it comes to safety, as a student here I have some concerns. We have had multiple gun threats in my upcoming four years here. Two of them where a kid actually brought the LOADED weapon to school and planned to cause a school shooting. The administration let the kid come back to school just as long as he had a clear backpack! This has happened twice and the students still go there to this day. Along with this major safety concern, certain doors are always unlocked no matter the time of day. They are visible to the public eye which raises concerns because if a student/adult wanted to commit a crime, they already have easy access. The school does not help with the problem of bullying as they should. The school for academics is average but I believe that Bonney Lake High School should take the importance of Safety to the top of their priority list rather than 100% graduation.
I love how all of the staff members want to see you succeed, and when you are struggling, they go out of their way to help you. Every single staff member strives for 100% graduation. Although the school spirit may not be there, the effort put forth by the staff and ASB students is tremendous, and truly shows that they love their school! Overall, this is an amazing school and I loved every second of being there!
I am a Senior, class of 2020, and I believe the teachers at BLHS truly care about the students. However, many students here are disrespectful, entitled, and judgmental in general. There is also a serious vaping problem in the bathrooms. There are amazing arts programs and clubs that are overshadowed by sports and go unrecognized. Choir, drama, culinary, band, photography, and other programs here I feel do not get the appreciation they deserve, while sports receive all funding, awards, and spotlights at assemblies. There is a lack of school spirit and optimism among various students. However, there are also many wonderful students at Bonney Lake, and I have met some of my closest friends here. The clubs are welcoming, and want people to join, and there are many different clubs to cover a range of interests. Teachers wish to see students succeed and love to help their students. There are many fun activities and events to participate in. Thanks for some wonderful memories Bonney Lake (:
