the school really isn't that great of a school when it comes to academics some teachers act like they are the best in the world when they really aren't the best at their jobs and the safety was a problem for a while but it's gotten a lot better but overall it's decent enough to choose for your kid small drug problem but if you stay with the right kids it won't be a problem

As a Berkmar Highschool Graduate I faced many challenges on my path to graduation. The administrators and advisors were quite mean and almost rude sometimes, However, it wasn't all of them I made good connections with other teachers and had help when I really needed it.

I loved the teachers and staff, everyone is welcoming and it's a great environment to grow in. Teachers push you to teach your potential and peers are overall positive.
