Kids made to walk laps in silence as punishment for missed homework. Office workers who don't acknowledge visitors. A principal acted as a union representative/lawyer when we challenged the status quo. This was a bad choice and we are going to seek alternatives as soon as possible. Poorly managed teachers that rely on negative reinforcement, group punishment and yelling, even in music class!

He really encouraged everyone, especially dads to get involved at school. We had many special events over the years. From dances, to movie nights, to bingo it was all awesome! The PTA and the Odell families really do a great job working together for the good of the students. I am thankful to the school and to the teachers my son had over those three years. There is a reason everyone wants to be in the Odell school zone. Thanks Odell for the lovely memories!!

All three of our kids attend BCCA, and we couldn't be happier. Our oldest started in kindergarten…read moreand is now in fifth grade. Our youngest just entered kindergarten after two wonderful years in the preschool program. The curriculum is more advanced than our experience at CMS, and our kids are encouraged to challenge themselves while being fully supported. They actually enjoy going to school, which says a lot. When our son needed help with reading, he received in-school and after-school tutoring at no cost. Teachers are communicative, with weekly check-ins and extra updates. Every teacher we've had has gone above and beyond. The admin team is engaged and present at drop off and pick up daily. BCCA goes beyond academics with events that build confidence, character, and community. We're so grateful to be part of this diverse, supportive school. Highly recommend.

If I could give this place negative stars, I WOULD. I went to the upper campus for 2 years…read more(freshman and sophomore year) and at first it seemed like this sweet little school that would help prepare students for college. Which is completely wrong. MOST of the staff is lazy and they may seem like they care for the students but their actions don't reflect that. Most teachers that taught at that school when I was there have quite literally LEFT. It was a negative experience for all students. The worst part is, even if you stayed, you couldn't get good scholarships (even if you were top of your class) because of the lack of students. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE never send your kids here. Go somewhere else with actual certified teachers. Don't make that mistake.

We left the school in August 2025 and have yet to receive our deposit refund in April 2026. We have had several people promise us that the accounting team is "working hard to process all refunds" & have yet to get anything more than empty promises & the runaround. We have resorted to hiring an attorney to sue them for breach of contract since they have far exceeded the time stated for processing our refund. If you care about your money, take your child somewhere else.

This was a good school 3 years ago, but has gone down hill, quicker with every passing year. Don't make the same mistake we did and fall for the marketing and admissions hype. They sell a good story, but after you are in, the dream becomes a nightmare. We are not coming back next year and we dread having to work with the registrar and admissions to get our transcripts for our children.
