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.

Would like to see more parent involvement. Best part were the resources they put into athletics, but need to put more resources into the less recognized ones as well.

Since my freshmen year back in 2021 to 2022, Birmingham has always been an active school. What I mean by active is that there's always events going on during the whole school year and there's many clubs you can join. Not just that but Birmingham has a lot of different things you can do/join and it has always felt like a safe place. The teachers are honestly some of the best there are. There are many teachers that students can trust with basically anything.
