Ben C. Rain High School as a parent of the school I have to say I have been very pleased with the leadership and teaching staff of B.C. Rain. Mr. Firle has worked to turn this school around in a positive way. Before he became the principal I would not allows my students to attend this school. After he came many parents told me it was a different school. He cares about the students, and I have seen him personal reach out to many of the students to encourage them to stay on the right path of getting a quality education. We have been enrolled here for three years now and I am seeing more and more improvements each year. Thanks to the leadership team and teachers at Rain I am proud to say I am a parent of this school, I am telling other parents that if you want your child to receive a quality education in a community school I suggest you send them to B.C. Rain High School. Thanks, A parent

I'm a teacher at B.C. Rain. Our principal, Mr. Firle, has drastically raised the graduation rate within a matter of very few years. He enforces all policies and procedures. Because the student is relatively smaller compared to other area high schools, teachers are able to focus more on students' academic achievement. In addition, students' morale is high and academically they are competitive with other schools such as Baker and Murphy. And, with the coming aviation academy, B.C. Rain is well on its way to becoming a top-performing area high school. I wouldn't want to teach anywhere else.
