Birmingham Community Charter High School

As a former student at Birmingham Community Charter High School I can say with confidence that I am extremely happy that I made the decision to go here for high school. The teachers are very helpful and their lessons make you well-prepared for the homework that is given. Also from my experience they try to sit down with each student that wants to learn and gives them every opportunity to do so. The counselors do much more than switch your classes. They are there when you need someone to talk to and are extremely helpful in determining what classes will benefit you and to give you perspective and positive reinforcement. The administrative staff are always on top of their work and do a great job to make sure that the teachers and ready and equipped to give their students the best learning experience. Birmingham is a community and everyone has a mutual respect for one another. I am still using many things that the teachers taught and the counselors told me to this day. When I decided to give Birmingham a chance I did not know what I was getting myself into. Now I know that I got a great education and friends for life. I also developed professional relationships with multiple staff members to this day that helped me make it to where I am now. Do me a favor, go to Birmingham. I continue to reap the rewards and I am sure you will too!

I feel that BCCHS has allowed me to thrive, as well as my sister. We are both different level learners, she is a regular/honors level learner while I am honors/accelerated/college level. Both of us were able to finish the year with a 3.8 GPA for her and a 4.0 for me. I am excited for my younger brother to start at BCCHS next school year and see him get the help he needs to raise his C average to A’s and B’s as I watched happen to many of my friends. For those not academically inclined, the school’s arts and athletics departments are also very well developed. They are award winning and generously funded, even getting funding to visit New York this past year for the musical theatre kids to see ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ on Broadway. The arts department never fails to amaze with incredible acting, costumes, projects, and talent. the sports teams pour their hearts onto the field and court, from cheerleaders to football players, their passion and talent does not go unnoticed. BCCHS has much more to offer, everyone finds a calling on campus.

I have had a great time at Birmingham. Community Charter High School so far. The student environment here is very welcoming and allows for many students to get involved with their schoolwide events with all their clubs (about 20 or more). Teachers and students are able to work together with the given class sizes. Overall I would rate 10/10 for this school since the people at this school are very concerned about their students and always work to get the best out of them.

I think it is OK. there are lots of electives and sports, and clubs.
