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.

pretty good school, very good classes which is rly all i care abt. definitely tries to get you into a good college. will rag on you for late assignments and whatever, but really whether or not you get good grades is on you. its a hard school, i work until at earliest 9 pm most nights and i dont have sports or commute. only thing is its a tiny grade size, so if youre introverted or not gr8 at making friends it will be very hard socially. ppl r nice tho.

Berkeley Carroll is a good school an offers many opportunities to students in all areas including art and academics. I feel in love with the theater program as soon as I entered. And the teachers are amazing and really support you and make sure you understand the material.
