I have been at Berkeley Carrol for my entire life, and I enjoy it so much! I really love all of the faculty and students there, and I feel as though the community is very strong. I am a very active member of our school and I try to be as social and friendly as I can.

I've overall had a good time at Berkeley Carroll. While I'd love some more varied classes in the younger years, I think there's a good variety of both STEM and Humanities courses.

I have really enjoyed my experiences at Berkeley Carroll. I have been there since kindergarten and each year has been a new and exciting experience. I have been a member of the varsity baseball team since my 8th grade year and I have been involved in numerous other school clubs and initiatives. They have been striving to create a safe and diverse community since I've been there and they have followed through on each promise to improve the quality of the school.
