As a student in this school, I won't say what grade I'm in due to privacy but this school is probably a three or two star school. Some teachers can be very cruel and not really helpful unless someone else takes action even if I or someone else persisted. I often leave my math class upset because my teacher often yells at the class to get us to settle down but that doesn't work for me. A lot of the students here aren't really the best either, I'm not naming names but some of them have tried to get me to do bad things, copy off of my homework or tease/try to be a bully. Some of the lessons and classes can be good but most are pretty okay. The mental health support is their somewhat atleast, I can go to a few teachers or my designated counselor but often my only time to go to my counselor is during fifth period and she usually isn't there, or she's with another student, or even eating lunch. Sometimes I really need to go to her but she isn't their, which often results in me getting upset.For me I have really bad anxiety, depression and I also am upset and overwhelmed easily. So going to her during those moments is something I want but if she isn't their I often get upset, freak out or just have to wait for my panic or anxiety attack to go away. I luckily have a comfort object in my locker but usually I cannot access my locker during those times and sometimes I don't feel like I can pick myself up to.The school is quite easy to navigate which is a plus.The new pass thing for the bathroom and water isn't really good. It doesn't prevent others from skipping because they can just go during periods they don't have to use the pass to the bathroom and skip their, so I'm not too sure what they are trying to prevent.Some people here are quite friendly and easy to warm up to and make friends, but others can just be complete jerks or just rude in general. Honestly if you stop giving those people attention and show you aren't affected, they'll leave you alone for the most part.I'm not too excited about some of the material and I'm sure others can relate, but this school is.. okay. The principal is okay, the school is okay and way better then my elementary school in terms of staff, teaching, students and connections, being able to have more freedom and stuff but I honestly think it could have been better. You should really ask yourself what you can do better for this school because its a good school but it lacks in some assets and elements.Three stars.

Great school. My daughter went to this high school and had a great 4 years

My children go to Birches and it has been a wonderful experience for us so far. The teachers and staff are very caring and the school learning and activities are well done.
