This school helped me through my 6th, 7th and 8th grade years. I had ample amounts of fun, however at the same time learning so much. They had everything here from a full functioning science lab (or two), to a full gym and agricultural class. 10/10 would recommend going here.

Much of the data here is out data including the facts about School Psychologist, law enforcement, security guard etc. BCMS has all of that. There is a Cambridge Program here and they do an amazing job balancing that and a school within a school.
