"Safety is impotent. I feel like the crime is high. The neighborhood water is dirty or too thick. Other neighborhoods in Minneapolis is much better. The school’s education is lower than other neighborhoods. They need to remove snow and salt the neighborhood. Around spring and summer too many dandelion streets need to be cleaned. "

Overall, I like Birch Grove. It is most definitely a like, not a love. I have had a total of 3 students of my own with close ties to other families.First, what works well. The arts program is wonderful and does an amazing job supporting the gifts, or even curiosity, of the youth who take interest in various artistic ventures. Through the productions, the students also learn about dedication and seeing things through and that’s great. My largest complaint with BG is that there is not consistency across the board with the many experiences. The experience of the student can vary greatly dependent on what teacher they get or even the relationship they have with a given teacher and that is very concerning. Too much is left to chance. I have the flexibility of being able to physically present at a rate that many parents do not but it has been the only saving grace at times with advocating for my children. This also translates to my experience managing supports within the school as well. This has been crucial in advocating for a child of mine not getting services in accordance with the set or even reasonable timeline. I have another student who navigated special education services as a breeze. Again, highlighting inconsistencies and process gaps that need be addressed.
