What a great school. My daughter attends here and we could not be happier. Don't homeschool your kids and have them miss out on the activities a school can provide. At least if your kid can go to this school. The Principle and teachers are second to none. Sports, Band, Honors, etc... Close Quote

Two of my children attend there and the level of academics has been impressive. They are both coming from gifted programs in California, and they have continued to be challenged at BRMS. Close Quote
