This school is amazing the teachers are very nice you can get along with the teachers the school is old and has a lot of history of it and there is a even older school right beside it my son enjoys it here and the school dress code is wonderful and they sell very healthy lunch here I give it 5 stars

Our family had a terrible experience at BIES. Factors that led to our decision to leave the school included several negative interactions with the school nurse, the attendance policy, and a lack of communication with parents from the administration in regards to disciplinary action.

The counselors at this school need to do better. My son was verbally threatened today and told oh, kids just say stuff sometimes. NO. A verbal threat is a threat and my son does not feel safe at this school. He was called numerous slurs today by his ex girlfriend and her older sister and told these girls' brothers will come to our home to beat him up. I said I'm pulling him out for homeschool (we were planning on that for his last 2 years because of how terrible this school is and him being threatened today and previously by another student) and was told that's not recommended. If my child does not feel safe, I'm not keeping him there plain and simple. She was condescending, smug, and rude. Don't ever count on the counselors here to help your child if they're uncomfortable or scared at school! The education is not great either.
