Bingham

The administration is demeaning, and it's pretty clear the only thing the school cares about are sports achievements, rather than the actual well-being and happiness of their students. Someone my friend knew committed suicide while I was a student, and I only heard about it through other students. I don't know all the details, but the administration should, at the bare minimum, tell the students what happened. If you're an athletic, spoiled white kid you'll do well here, but otherwise it might be rough. It's a very competitive environment and that can really take a toll on most students. There is almost no separation of church and state. Most of the kids are Mormon, there's a seminary class- the only way to get a free period, regardless of whether you'd like it for studying- and I (an athiest student) had to attend an assembly about the evils of porn. The assemblies are all supposed to be mandatory. (I usually skipped them, but it was a pain because they make staff guard the exits. It really shows a lack of respect in my opinion.) I will say that there are some amazing teachers here who go out of their way to help students succeed, and do honestly care. They are fantastic. I know they have to deal with a lot already, so the fact that they take the time to care about individual students is wonderful. If not for them, I would have transfered schools. Obviously not all the teachers are that great, but I felt like there were more than those who weren't.

Everyone says it's full of rich kids but is it their fault their parents are hard working citizens? GO MINERS! #StateChamps #Truth #BestSchool #BinghamFootball

very bad. The school is not good

This is a great place to send your child if he or she is a high level athlete and Winning is the only option. If you don't tolerate losers this is your school. It's the Cobra Kia of high schools. Even their Special Olympics teams Must Win, when other schools use peer tutors to help the special kids play Special Olympics basketball Bingham uses players from the J.V. basketball team to guarantee the WIN! I once watched one of these J.V. Bingham High basketball players during a Special Olympics basketball game slap the ball out of the hands of a kid with Downs Syndrome then take it all the way to the hoop for a dramatic lay up and then do some kind of in your face celebration. It was one of the most disgusting things I have ever witnessed, that represents the attitude of the sports programs at Bingham. To all my family and friends, including my beautiful wife that attended this High School I LOVE YOU and I know it's not your fault that Bingham stinks.

You will never find a better school. Great spirit and amazing students.
