Berkley High School

Having the privilege to be apart of this environment of this school, it has the most dedicated teachers and parents that show support and compassion. The teaching team was collaborative, student-focused, and consistently went above and beyond to support one another and the school community. There are not enough words for the educators that are there.Unfortunately, despite the strength of the staff the work environment was undermined by unsafe leadership practices. These were apparent with the staffing changes and the way the staffing felt odd and uneasy in conversations. Everything suddenly needed to be approved or sent to admin. The administration, created a culture that at times felt chaotic and unsafe for both staffing and students. Concerns were certainly raised at a board level and dismissed or ignored. This is disheartening because with a transparent leadership this school could go back to being the amazing place that would be an outstanding place to be at for staffing and students.

Great school with a strong parent organization. There is even a really cool Dads Club for all the dads that want to help support the school.

We are having an amazing experience at Shrine. We love the community and the teachers! Everyone is so caring. My child has learning disability and it's been amazing to watch her really become successful at Shrine.
