Atrium School

The school is pretty decent but also has its downs. I'm just going to give a quick summary: the men's bathrooms have piss all over the floor, the school does almost nothing to stop fights in middle school. But, the school also teaches well in math and english. Until these things are improved, I do not recommend this school.

I don't know how they get 7/10, they should be 1/10 or 2/10 at most.

My daughter has been going to this school since Kindergarten, and I have noticed that this school has not one black staff member, which is bothersome. My daughter is in 5th grade now and has voiced that she no longer wants to go to school because one of the teachers in her class has been targeting her. Being rude and nasty to my daughter! I have asked two other students which are my daughters friends have they witnessed the teacher targeting my daughter, in which they both confirmed. I don’t believe black children at this school are equally educated as the white children, nor do black children have the proper resources. I have also reached out to the superintendent via email and phone call, and never received a follow up email nor call back in regards to my concerns! I am looking into relocating my daughter.

This schools special education and language support programs are terrible. Teachers have no control over classes and the administration is a mess. The school move has made this school broke and they are laying off experienced teachers and keeping the cheap, inexperienced ones while combining classes for bigger class sizes. Do not send your kid here.

I started at BB&N in 6th grade. It's been a while since then, but since then, my life has changed in the best ways possible. Before BB&N, I was shy and had a harder time making friends and expressing my opinions to other people. Everyone at this school is so nice and friendly, and I'm so glad I chose BB&N. I've made so many great friends here and have been challenged with fun, new topics in each subject. The Middle/Upper school campuses are both really nice! The sports are also really fun, and even if you don't know how to do some of them (like I didn't know how to row before crew), the coaches are always really nice and helpful in teaching you what to do. I've had such an amazing experience so far at BB&N, so thank you to my friends and teachers.

Shady Hill - possibly the best private school around. My children attended SHS and now as adults they tell me it was the best school experience they ever had. Most of what they know now was because of the intense central subjects. They still talk about Miss Prescott's Greek Mythology, and that was a while back. As a parent I still hear wonderful comments from present day parents. No doubt a great school continues its legacy.
