They don't seem to care at all. I was also an alumni of BA, and it wasn't any better when I was there. The teachers and curriculum may be okay, but that is school.

I m a student at Bryan Adams and its been a bad year.This year was one of the worst. Bryan Adams is a school that is lacking in funds in education, new books, and parent involvement.

We have very few fights this year with alot of school-wide pride being restored. Currently, our principal has sought the District's support to provide a 'face lift' to the campus facility. Things are looking up at BA, thanks to our new sheriff in town! Read less
