School Overview

Tucked up in the San Bernardino Mountains at nearly 7,000 feet, Big Bear High serves a tight-knit mountain community where ski lifts, pine forests, and lake views are part of everyday life — and that sense of place clearly shapes the school's identity. Science scores stand out as a genuine strength, which feels fitting for a school surrounded by mountain ecosystems and outdoor recreation. Families who are drawn to small-town mountain living, where kids know their teachers and community ties run deep, will find Big Bear High to be a natural fit for that lifestyle.
