GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Berkmar High school was a good experience. I really enjoyed going to school and learning. Most of the teachers are really good and have a passion for what they do. The only problem would have to be administrators and how they handle situations, they dont handle schedule changes very good and it really stresses the students.
