I am an employee at this school so I have a slightly different perspective. I have worked in a variety of different schools over the past 5 years and Black Mountain Primary has a lot of strengths, including a good school culture for students and staff. There is an environment of collaboration among teachers and the students are treated as individuals. Each student's learning and interests are considered by teachers and instructional staff. There are always things that could be improved, but I can say BMP is a school I would fight to send my own kids to.

i got expelled after a rushed and ignorant assessment by the board that completely failed to take into account nuance, my special needs and context. additionally, this school was an absolute hellhole. one staff member approached me on the basis of my pro-palestinian statements and asked, literally, "So you hate Jews?" furthermore, as a trans girl, i found it extremely difficult to find a bathroom to use as i was not allowed to use staff bathrooms and afraid to enter gendered bathrooms. this school is a cold, heartless place that will eat your soul.

Worst school ever got bullied in front of the teachers they did nothing. Had things thrown at me and names I got called they did nothing. Faculty and staff choose favorites of students they do nothing about bullying. Students constantly vaping and doing things in the bathroom. Teachers monitor bathrooms and don’t let you go during class change if someone is already in there. When I was in 7th grade the bathrooms were locked during class change and for the first and last ten minutes of class you were not allowed to go to the bathroom which is a basic human need. The most rude students go there they are mean and will ruin your sweet child if they go to that school. They dress code certain students but won’t dress code other people wearing the same thing with a different body type sexualizing the student for her body type and picking favorites. About every Spanish teacher has left because of how mean the students are to them. The school and very small with a small variety of students who discriminate other students for their differences such as looks, race, height, and weight. Special ed students in special ed classes do not get taught anything they sit in a classroom and do nothing. Worst school you could ever send your child to I would never recommend to anyone.

Engaged teachers, who are always interested in helping your child get the most out of the school curriculum. It is an overall amazing school.
