This is an excellent learning environment. The principals are active and visible and the teachers are involved heavily in student activities. I have been really impressed with the band instruction and performance.

I am happy with BMS. I am from Northern Virginia and there the teachers do not seem to care about their students but, here they care a great deal!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Virginia used the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests to assess students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, writing in grades 5 and 8, science in grades in 3, 5 and 8, and history in grades 3 through 8. The SOL tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Virginia. The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
