We are a military family and are so pleased with Berryhill Elementary! My child has some additional needs and his teachers have been advocates for him when needed. His teachers (Mrs. Etheridge and Mrs. Wilson) have made our time at Berryhill so wonderful. Additionally, The school secretary has answered my many questions and knows my child by name; the teachers (at least the ones we have had) are very communicative and keep me in the loop with my child's needs as well as great moments to remember; the SRO is wonderful and I enjoy seeing him interact with the kids during drop off; and our MFLAC has gone above and beyond by checking on my child in the lunchroom to see why he wasn't eating his lunch. It truly takes a team to help guide children when you can't be there as a parent. Any issues or concerns that we've had have been addressed quickly and thoroughly- emails, calls, meetings, follow ups.... and if more information is needed, the appropriate staff is seeked for the right answer. And I have to add that I love seeing the school spirit at drop off and hearing music play as the kids come in! It makes school seem fun and welcoming which is a great way to begin the day! read more

As a Moving Military family, we move a lot. Our 3 children have been in 2 schools prior to Berryhill Elementary. Our family was stationed very close to BH. We were very happy and enjoyed the Southern hospitality. However it didn't take long for my children (Who love school) to dread going to sleep knowing they would only have to wake up with the anxious uneasy feeling. This school was a nightmare!! I had meetings with the teachers (zero help) I then called to speak to the Principle she did in fact return my call (after 3 attempts) I spoke with her and she was very kind hearted and sweet to my face. I realized I forgot to leave her our new address information so I went back only to hear her speak with a lady beside her office. This is what I heard. (MILITARY FAMILYS they're all the same I need some wine after all that wine) I was very embarrassed and now like my children I didn't ever want to go back. I pulled my children out and we never looked back. About 3-4 months later I seen Miss Chapman at a local wing restaurant and she was very intoxicated. Not that it's a crime. It was in fact a weekend. My neighbor had also informed me the other Principal was & very much still is in a band and was a party animal and that they were very close friends with him. My personal experience with this school was very emotionally draining. Please don't make choices on my review. I just want other military family's new to the area to expand there searches and also don't be "That Military Family" This school isn't for the soft hearted by any means. read more
