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.
