I graduated from this school a couple years ago and loved it! The teachers are amazing and very easy to work with when missing classes for athletics. I would recommend this high school to anyone, it was the best experience I could ask for. I formed lasting friendships with the other students and still go back and visit the teachers whenever I break and they are still in school.

I am a junior at BVNW and i absoulty love it! The teachers are great here and have the student's best intrest in mind. And most students get the feeling of a family from here.

My four children have all gone/are going to Blue Valley Northwest. My two in college have both made it to the honors programs in their respective colleges (University of Miami, FL and Southern Methodist University, TX). They were both very well prepared, and thanks to BVNW began college with many extra credit hours. This has given them the opportunity to take classes that they want to take, and have a better college experience. The teachers were all very smart, tactful, and dedicated. This school is everything I could have asked for and more.

I attended this school. The teachers are passionate about their job and students. A lot of them stay after hours to offer help to any child who needs it. There are so many options when it comes to extracurricular activities. The student body is quite diverse and very accepting. I loved coming to school every morning. The only negative thing I can think of is that the principals aren't as involved as they can/should be.

BVNW is a decent school but does not prepare student's for the real world. it has very minimal racial, ethnic and economic diversity. My children who were honors student had a good experience but my one child who needed more help really was damaged by attending this school. Be sure your kids have designer stuff so the other kids will include them and monitor for drugs and alcohol as the student body has plenty of cash to party!

I attended school here. Its a fine school, nothing exceptional, but if you want a decent education for your child, in a sterile and safe environment, BVNW is for you. The classes will prepare you for college prep work, but are not intellectually challenging aside from the English department. BVNW has many great technological resources, but doesn't use all of them effectively. When I attended there, it did have a bit of a drug problem, just marijuana. Most likely a result of bored teenagers.
