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.

I attended Berean Academy from Kindergarten to 12th grade. My first few years were good but some of my other years were rocky. The administration would make my class feel like they didn't care sometimes, but it was the few good teachers there that really supported us and got us through. The school does have a new director and once he came along there were a few things that got better.

I have been at this school since my kindergarten year, so I have been through its ups and downs. I know the teachers that have come and gone and srudents as well. The principal knows me well because it is a small school. In addition, the lunch director is very nice and knows at least 95% of the students names.

For the most part I have had good relationships with my teachers, but if they are having a bad day they tend to take it out on the class. It is not pleasant for anyone when they are angry. When they are in good moods, we all joke around together. I have not liked that we have uniforms and do not have a football team. The school does take several fun field trips, though, which I have attended. I would not want to go here again because there are not any extra curricular activities that interest me, such as music. Since I don't have high school experience with it, I cannot do that in college either which is very disappointing.

Excellent. Wish we had lived here when my older child was in school so he could have gone here too. We have passed up on opportunities to leave the state because I will not remove my child from this school until he graduates.

Not impressed at all. Definitely not bringing my child back after this school year. Very disappointed and feel my child has not been given the proper foundation.

Horrible for bullying. Not acceptable. This needs to be addressed by higher authorities

HORRIBLE school. I would like to send my children to a safe school where I know they will take care of bullying and this school is NOT it.
