there are pros and cons about this school. i recently graduated after being here for 3 years and i was apart of their aiat program.pros:-if you go to the aiat at portola, the teachers here are very good and they support their twice exceptional kids!-they have a wide variety of electives and clubs-everyone is loved and supported by other staff-the dance class here is so much fun and it’s very easy to mingle with others and make friendscons:-multiple fights occur here-some kids pressure others to do uncanny behavior-lots of bullying occurs-some people pull pranks, such as pulling the fire alarm during classas a person that went there herself, i did have a few issues here and there, but it was overall a very memorable experience.

This is our third year at Encino Charter, all of the teachers we’ve had have been amazing. We love our PE teacher who’s an icon at the school and challenges the kids with fun active games! The school has many extracurricular activities and really engages their students in STEAM. We love walking distance from the school and attend every activity the ETEAM puts on. I feel like a part of the community and my child exhibits leadership qualities learned in the classroom. We get updates and communication from the teachers almost daily and it’s so nice to see how much the kids are learning! I would highly recommend.

As a former student at Birmingham Community Charter High School I can say with confidence that I am extremely happy that I made the decision to go here for high school. The teachers are very helpful and their lessons make you well-prepared for the homework that is given. Also from my experience they try to sit down with each student that wants to learn and gives them every opportunity to do so. The counselors do much more than switch your classes. They are there when you need someone to talk to and are extremely helpful in determining what classes will benefit you and to give you perspective and positive reinforcement. The administrative staff are always on top of their work and do a great job to make sure that the teachers and ready and equipped to give their students the best learning experience. Birmingham is a community and everyone has a mutual respect for one another. I am still using many things that the teachers taught and the counselors told me to this day. When I decided to give Birmingham a chance I did not know what I was getting myself into. Now I know that I got a great education and friends for life. I also developed professional relationships with multiple staff members to this day that helped me make it to where I am now. Do me a favor, go to Birmingham. I continue to reap the rewards and I am sure you will too!
