I love all parts of Bear Grass Charter School. It is a small campus where all of your teachers care about you and want to see you succeed. I wouldn't change anything about Bear Grass Charter School.

It was good and bad at times. I wish there was more money put into things like the bathroom, as the place wasn't clean sometime. Also, just wish some of the teachers were more committed to teaching their students instead of pulling up notes for them to copy. The dress code for girls I wish was more lenient as well, there were times I'd sweat all day because I had to wear pants instead of nice breezy shorts on a hot day. At the end of the day, I did meet some good people there though.

I love going to Bear Grass they have helped me through so much. I love that it is a small school and you know everyone there. I have made so many great friendships with people I would have never met going to a public school, because you have to live in a certain district to go.
