Recently this district has been rocked by sexual assault scandals, but any student knew that wasn't a secret. The issue is the administration. Fortunately, they are working on that and making progress. Other than that situation, the district is pretty good, bureaucratic and funding of weird things, but strong resources fro STEM and Academics, and the teachers are great!
The food and the learning experience was stellar. I felt comfortable whenever I was at school and felt as if I was in a safe learning environment. I had great friends and made good connections with all of my teachers. My favorite class I took was race relations and my least favorite was advanced algebra two. Boulder high school shaped me into a good student as I graduated with a 4.0 GPA. I felt as if the school handled situations including drugs well, penalizing students for partaking in illegal activity. One thing I did not like about Boulder high school was the parking situation. I was late to class almost every day just because parking was so difficult to come by. The senior lot is nowhere near enough room for all the senior students to park before school, And when students did not park in the senior lot and decided to park in the teacher lot, they would get ticketed or booted. I did not like the vaping situation, even though teachers tried to crack down on it as best as they coul
BVSD has provided me with a top notch education, but with a few difficulties along the way. In my time in BVSD schools, there have been 3 or 4 different superintendents, with all very different perspectives on primarily weather. I live higher in the mountains, so our weather is often misjudged, and students are required to go to school on days that the roads are completely unplowed, yet school is occasionally cancelled on a nice day due to some poor predictions. Other than that, I've enjoyed going to school in BVSD and benefited from the educational options it provides.
