Bolton High School

Bolton High School is one of the best places to go! The people are extremely down to earth and actually nice and caring. This school has roots because it has been around for a long time and is very well established. The extra curricular activities are amazing especially band! The sports teams really make an effort to come together and bond. The classes are great and the teachers not only teach school related things but also help us learn life lessons. It has been a wonderful 3 years here!

Bolton High is where I have one son attending and two others will be attending down the road. I have the highest respect for the administration, staff and athletic coaches. This school is very, very well thought of in our community and does a great job !

I have had two kids attend Bolton. The teachers are very good and the honors classes offer much. I think their sports programs are good (exception: head football coach is awful and does not have a clue). All in all, the school is safe. There is some racial tension from time to time, especially when Obama got elected. The slurs were being thrown by the black kids no less. Principal Stevens is outstanding. Its a good environment and I think they try hard to keep it that way.

While the variety and selection of courses available in the Honors/A.P. programs are superior to those found at other schools, there is a continual problem with racial and socioeconomic tension that manifests itself DAILY in aggressive behavior in the hallways, cafeteria, etc. My daughter is a junior, has never had a conduct related incident at school, but comes home often with stories of pushing/shoving, racial slurs and aggressive behavior from total strangers. I think a concerted effort by all teachers to maintain higher visibility between classes would significantly reduce these incidents. I'll have another child entering the school next year, equally as mild mannered, and my husband and I are very concerned for her safety also. Unfortunately, this appears to be the best of the available schools, including private ones, so I guess we'll just hope for the best.

Bolton is a great school if you know which teachers to choose. As with all schools, some teachers are better than others. Overall, I'd say it has an excellent staff. The new principal is great on discipline and will have the school running tightly in no time.

I couldn't have asked for a better school for my daughter to attend. The students are great, the teachers are awesome, administration is phenonmenal, and the parental involvement is priceless. I know that my daughter is working towards a wonderful future and will be fully prepared for any college that she chooses.

Great School!!! I am a graduate of Bolton and I have never been more proud to tell people where I went to school. I will never forget the caring staff there that helped me to become the person I am today. A special thanks to Dr. Carruthers, Mrs. Pittman, Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Berkes, Ms. Burns, and Mrs. Dodd. Thank you so very much for for everything!
