Don't listen to that last review. That was bias. I am a current student at BHHS. The school has alot of setbacks. They can't afford to give us a hot lunch everyday, but they just installed a new gym floor. They can't let us have a senior trip because they can't afford it, but we have a football field upgrade. The schools money is spent mostly on sports. If your a sports player, this is the school for you. If you want to get noticed for your academics, this school is not for you.

Blackville-Hilda schools have dedicated teachers and administrators and are concerned about the performance of students. While some of the students do not perform at their best, many others are good students. The percentage of students that go on to college is above average for a town of its size. Those that attend college usually complete their programs of study and go on to be successful citizens.
