My experience with Birch Run High School has opened my abilities for the future. With the teachers and consolers help I have been prepared and am ready to concur the future ahead of me. Some of my best experiences are with the hands on classes like woodshop class and design courses. I would like to see some change in the school regarding the building feeling crammed, especially during lunches and passing time.

It's a great school, that allows you to take your interest and build on it. They absolutely help with any career path, and do very well with accommodations. However, when there is an issue regarding your student and a teacher, good luck. Your student cannot win that battle, even if you get doctors to back you up.
