Bell High School
It was one of the worst schools that I have ever been to. I have been to many different schools in my years but this one was very far behind the slowest of other schools that I have attended. If you are looking for a quality education this is not the place to go. Gilchrist is not the place to go. The only thing that is worth going to is the JROTC and maybe the health academy.
