Below average staff that doesn't care about the students. It is sad how the School and the people who now run it have ruined the reputation of a once GREAT school.

Excellent teachers and principle.

A bad situation getting worse. I would not recommend sending a child here.

My son goes to BV and loves it. Small class sizes, more individual attention, and a caring staff allows him to excel in his strengths and be challenged in his weaknesses!
