Berea High School

There are many great teachers here, and they do the best they can with their hands tied by the administration. The admin lacks professionalism and is largely ineffective. The school system motto is inspiring excellence, but it is not evident in the way the schools are run. There is more concern with the marginal students achieving the minimum, than with the average and above average students achieving excellence. Many of the top students go off to college and find that they are not as well prepared as their college classmates. Many of the students lack respect for the teachers. This should be expected with the way the admin treats student, staff and parents, the attitude from admin is "shut up and sit down". The school building is run down and unkempt. The athletic facilities are out dated and the school does not have a stadium of their own. Admin does not return or acknowledge emails, and phone calls from students. Parent phone calls & emails are returned but to no avail, they don't want to hear what we have to say. The admin behaves as if this is their school. IT IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL AND BELONGS TO THE COMMUNITY. THAT INCLUDES ALL THREE CITIES, NOT JUST BEREA!
