My child attended the middle school for 2 yrs. The school can benefit many students/parents looking for small school with nontraditional curriculum and different offerings. Positive aspects of school: small school, small classes for high school, teachers can write/create own curriculum, arts/technology classes & intertwined within classes, theatre/music opportunities, weekly exploration/special interest class (hiking, biking, specialty crafts, games, discussion, music), school uniform (polo shirt). Negative aspects: longer day and year, only lunch choice of cold 4' sub or salad every day; very high % of students with IEP's, disciplinary/behavior challenges/ expelled from other schools; very high # and % of detentions/suspensions/retention rates, teachers spend/waste more time on discipline in class; no sports & few extra curricular activities offered. Not respected/supported by other schools/educational professionals/ towns in area.
BArT is a great alternative to the middle and high schools in North Berkshire County where some kids can get lost in the shuffle. BArT focuses on integrating art and technology into its daily curriculum, and is project and portfolio-based. It's a new school, and working the kinks out, but its priorities are in order, and its mission is strong.
