School Reviews
4 12/26/2017
this school is pretty good if you can behave very well in a setting with a small number of students in the class with you. From what I know of being there, there are two different classes one teaching math the other teaching reading. The classes are right next door to each other and there is a wall separating the two classes. Also, this school has two names one is Berryhill administrative complex and most of the students know it by the sail program. finally, this school is very good if you want to easily get good grades and get some really good help with your work.
