The school is a great place if you are looking for good opportunities. Academic or recreational, our programs are excellent. Even our new programs excel rapidly. Our school places staff that truly care about the well being of the students and their futures. The only problem is that our school does not offer AP, IB, or honors classes. This may make students feel like it puts them at a disadvantage when applying for college because they cannot show their excellence in this field compared to other students around the country. However they do provide an advance programs such as The Math and Science Center, dual enrollment classes, and Career Technical Education where select students can take classes that increase in difficulty and challenge them selves at college level material.
Berrien Springs High School had the potential to be one of the best schools in the county. However, as a student it feels as though administration and most teachers rarely care about their students. I do not feel prepared to even apply to the schools of my choice or anything. However, even if I wouldn't say its a great school or even a good one on some days, there are many experiences here that I wouldn't have had anywhere else. Not all may be good, most days felt like a waste of time or a filler until I can find freedom or happiness after graduation.
Up until coming to Berrien, I had only ever attending private schools. I didn't know quite what to expect, but was thoroughly surprised by all that my experience ended up becoming. I didn’t realize how far behind my past private school really had been in most academic areas. Berrien pushed me to become better academically. I made some of my closest friends in the many clubs that the high school, specifically, had to offer. The music program was the highlight of my years in high school and have some of my fondest memories so far. The PLTW program is also something to take advantage of as a student.
