The environment was great. I enjoyed every year that I attended a Birmingham city school. The teachers were great but some in highschool didn’t teach. I did not experience a lot of bullying, but that’s to be expected from every school. I graduated from Ramsay highschool and am now enjoying UAB. I highly encourage that everyone attended a Birmingham city school because it’s nothing like any other city school.
I have been enrolled in Birmingham City Schools since kindergarten. I love it! You get to experience new things and have an excellent learning experience. The teachers are easy to talk to and they will give you feed back based off your accomplishments. Birmingham City Schools really cares about the students education.
I have attended Birmingham City schools since I went to Pre-Kindergarten. I attended the top schools that Birmingham City had to offer. While attending these schools, the discipline that I received has truly helped me make it to my Senior year. I can say that I've truly been challenged throughout my education because I've had to stay up late to study and complete my classwork.
One thing that I would like to see changed is how students are treated when trying out for sports. The coaches already have their minds made up on who they want to try out for the team. I tried out over and over again and every time I was rejected. Can you imagined how I felted.I practiced and drilled everyday and I even had a coach drilling me but I still wasn't good enough to make the team. I really would like to see this change because when you work hard at something only to be let down, a change has to come.
