The school was ok I liked how small it was but could do better with academic help and involvement. Students didn't have a lot to choose from and a lot of things were very limited. The School has improved on that a lot since I graduated in2014. My sister will be a senior next year and seems to be enjoying school.

BRV is a wonderful school with wonderful teachers, other staff, and students. A safe and inviting school. This is a small school so it allows for more one on one teacher/student interaction. The teachers and other staff at this school truly take the time to get to know your children, meet their need...

Very safe and comfortable small school. The student to teacher ratio allows for more individualized attention and feedback from the teachers. The current rating does not reflect the high quality education received from this school.
