This was the best school ever for my children. It provided them with all the tools they needed to learn and educated them on many important topics. The school has a nice atmosphere and pretty much everyone there is very kind and supportive to students.

This school was a fiasco for my child. Administration cannot manage and are impossible to talk to. No communication from teachers. I don’t get it?! It used to be the school to go to in the county. now it’s the school to avoid. Glad my student is out of there before it had any lasting damage.

I am a former student of this school, and after transferring schools due to my terrible experiences with a few select teachers, can say that if you want your children to actually learn, Berea Community is a very poor choice. The algorithm for middle school students covers content that most kids would learn in elementary school. There are very few opportunities for learning growth, except for an elementary "gifted and talented," which had poor standards for it's selection of students. You also receive an enormous amount of homework, which sometimes takes hours to complete, with little sympathy from teachers. Which also ties into my next point, they don't really accommodate disabilities. They do have classes for students with learning disabilities, but for students like me, there are not many accommodations. My academic performances are fine, but due to my ADHD I tend to fidget a lot. In class I'd bounce my leg, or fidget my hands. I'd get many "write ups," for things like, "Weird hand movements." Despite my protest, no teacher would ever listen to my explanation for my fidgeting. Their counselor is also extremely hard to meet with, with almost every student needing one and the school not having the resources to provide enough care. I legally should have been provided with resources, like a 504 plan, which I have now. Berea Community did not provide any resources for me, and unjustly accused me for things I have no control over. This is why I strongly advise against Berea Community, if you want any accommodations or opportunities for your child.
