My child just started the high school this year and so far I haven't had any real issues. The only thing I can say is that the parents are asked for a "class fee" at the beginning of the year. I paid that fee but evidently there is a 2nd "class fee" that I missed, but rather than letting me know that it was owing my child was not allowed to participate in decorating the class float for the homecoming parade. So the kids that hadn't paid or couldn't afford the class fee got put in a classroom to sit while everyone else got to participate. I think that was a horrible thing to do to those kids. I understand the school is underfunded and need the extra money but come on! What if you can't afford the fee? You still get segregated to a classroom and not allowed to join in. I think that just wrong. Other than this incident, I haven't had any negative issues, but we'll see what happens. The teachers are nice and see, very willing to help. And if you are under a certain financial level you can get free tutoring for your child which is awesome and a real help.

I am a grandparent and a volunteer for Berry Elementary School. I do the volunteering one day a week and enjoy being involved. I do what ever needs to be done. Our school is a bright, smells great and a great environment for our children to learn in. Mrs. Deavours has done a tremendous job giving the children a great place to come and enjoy learning. At our Open House, it was elbow to elbow with students, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and this was great to see and make me proud to say my grandchildren goes to BES.....
