I prolly shouldve gone to private school. better people, easier to make friends, hotter girls, and smaller classes. But brmhs was free.

Not sure how it is now, but Parkview wasn't too great for me. I feel that they taught English pretty well, but math and science were lacking. For example, I asked my math teacher what integrals were for. She told me it was for the test. I know my friends at Catholic had a better education.

Also, there were quite a few teachers that tried hard to indoctrinate the kids. My fourth grade science teacher told our class the following: The Grand Canyon was created by the great flood, and dinosaur bones were placed here on Earth by God to make us question our faith.

It's been a while since I was there, so most of the bad things may have changed by now. I hope so. I made some great friends while I was there and had a good enough time. Also, the hot girl to guy ratio was good when I went there.

Why wouldn't you just put your child in a different public school if BR High is no longer an option? I've been told over and over how much the EBRPSS has improved over the past couple of years.

The whole private school system is bull shite. Money down the drain.

What year did all this stuff happen? Sounds like you were in high school in the post Hancock years.

St. James for feeder school then Episcopal for 6th-12th and its not even close. The college prep is second to none in the state. The hands down best campus of any high school I've ever seen.

If you send your child to a magnet middle school, he is guaranteed admission to BRMHS. if not, then send him to Catholic High , school of champions.

Every private school thread in here eventually turns into a Catholic High circle jerk thread.

Thing you need to know about catholic schools is most kids know each-other from elementary and middle school.

Everyone talks as though you can just walk up to Catholic High and enroll your kid. Not even close. There is a long waiting list and many they have a priority list a mile long.

Parkview is a good option. Academics are slightly better than average and it's a pretty positive environment. Not too expensive-lots of cool parents, good student life with lots of activities.

Mine are at BRMHS and the feeder schools into BRMHS. But we had them at Parkview when they were younger and were reasonably satisfied.
