Berea Community High School's name illustrates community as its best characteristic. Not only is this true, but it sets it apart from most public schools. However, due to lack of funding, the school is unable to be above average in many areas, as you can only go so far without money.

We're such a small school everyone is close to each other and we are like family and I love that.The teacher will help you as much as they can even if you're having a hard time passing they will stay after school for with you to give you extra assignments and even help you study.

Great school environment, you can take college classes at Berea College in high school, and small enough that you know almost everyone else. Teachers and faculty are close to students. Graduates have gone to Ivy league schools like Harvard University and many go to Berea College, the only no tuition school in the US.

This school was a fiasco for my child. Administration cannot manage and are impossible to talk to. No communication from teachers. I don’t get it?! It used to be the school to go to in the county. now it’s the school to avoid. Glad my student is out of there before it had any lasting damage.

Ineffective and poorly organized. Mold, cockroaches and leaking roof to endanger children's health. Bullying is allowed and not addressed appropriately. Child is told the teacher needs to see in order to stop. Argumentive office staff and teachers who do not return email or phone calls.
