I go to this school and I love all my teachers. They pay attention to all the students and help us when we need it. All the students are friendly and the school feels like a second home and most importantly a family.

I transferred my child to the middle school at BRCA and I am so very pleased with this school. There are separate teachers for Math, Science,English and History. This is a big plus. I like the discipline and the ease with which the students get along with each other. Lots of HW and parental involvement is imperative.
