My sons are all very different and each of them has been treated as an individual at Berryton. The teachers build relationships with students and families. My sons have enjoyed all the cool projects and fun experiences provided to them at the classroom and school level. We are very thankful to the staff!

My son was in the 10th grade and the staff encouraged him to drop out. This came from my son saying this. When I confronted the staff about it, it was said we try to motivate our students by saying this. Instead of being motivated my son would talk about dropping out. I had to let him finish out the year since it was towards the end of the school year. I took him out and put him in LVS where my son has a wonderful and supportive schooling experience. Staff should be ashamed of themselves for encouraging students to drop out. They also claimed my son was depressed because he lays his head down on a desk. He has done this for years in every school. He especially does this when concentrating on his art as he gets close to the paper. Just because my son is different doesn’t mean he is depressed. We are moving and I’m glad my daughter will not be coming to this school next year.

I like how available the progress of my student is through power school.
