Only to the ones that are in the "Good ole boys" club get the full attention from the teachers. That has everything to do with the school administration and members of the school board.

The approach at this school is "kids will be kids".

Bullying is a huge issue here. School board members have children in the school that have HUGE anger problems and nothing is done about it. All infractions this child has committed are swept under the rug.

The school does the bare minimum for kids with ADHD or ADD. They see it
as a hastle to take the extra time to develop a plan to help with the youngsters that aren't as privileged as some of the others.

They punish the kid that is getting picked on instead of the ones that are committing the act. Their policy is to do the bare minimum and the kids will work it out on their own. There has been repeated incidents that the administration has ignored causing several traumatic events for the ones that have been pushed around.

HORRIBLE! School board covers for their colleagues. GOOD OLE BOYS CLUB.

When children with special needs, i.e. ADD, attend this school they will not get the proper care that is required by the state. Either not enough staff to handle this or its a "not my problem" attitude. Football is the main priority here.

10 out of 10 I love this school! I am doing great in this school and the teachers will help you whenever if you ask and they have a new CTE area for the career, technical, and engineering. They also have different career paths and graduation paths for your benefits. You can also start taking college courses as a sophmore.

My son did fantastic at this school! Teachers and coaches were always there to support him in anything he wanted to do!

Basehor Lindwood High School is part of an excellent community. It is an excellent mid-sized school with a lot of school spirit. My daughter graduated last year and is now at the University of Missouri. Could Basehor challenge some of its students a bit more academically? Sure, but the positives more than made up for not having a fencing program or the option to learn Chinese.

BLHS was a nightmare for my child. Staff was not compassionate and they were a part of school clicks. We switched schools and my child made honor roll got a nice scholarship and his ACT is awesome
