Berkley High School 2325 Catalpa Drive, Berkley, MI 48072

"I just don’t like school"

"Best school I've been Great teaching techniques and the teachers adapt to the students not the other way around. I know this first hand because I go here."

"Might be a good school but the office staff is very very rude!"

"They messed up 53 students SATs including mine, and now we have to pay to retake them. Tf is that"

"The assistant principal, Mr Kaine, has arrogant views and uses his position corruptly. He chooses unfair decisions for the students who are succeeding such as making a student who almost passed her online course to completely repeat a semester within 2 weeks before graduating as well as attempting to charge her. Another is when he had myself join into 2 new classes after a month without having them although I had exceeding credits to graduate. There's also when he would tell seniors only a couple weeks before graduating that they are failing a class without contacting parents. As well as him lying to parents making it seem like it's the student's fault just to cover his own status as a "good guy" sending mix messages to the parents and students themselves when they just need information on how to succeed. Not only was he uncommunicative towards the students and parents, but also the staff themselves. Counselors would send mix messages on how students would pass a class, but then after talking to Mr Kaine, would say they would have to repeat the class over again and have to pay again within weeks. Also being uncommunicative, would try everything in their power to not give students community service hours or didn't invite, like myself and a few other students, to the Honors Connvocate although we had community service as well as a Cum Laude award. The teachers are the only thing worth going to Berkley for since they are the only ones who actually are there for the students and communicate the most where as the office staff tries everything in their power to take down the achieving students because they pointed out their flaws in the system due to their own corrupt and arrogant minds. Mr. Kaine is only there to make a high title for himself as well as making advancing students feel lower and helpless about themselves. He also holds a power over the counselors to go with what he decides so that he is still saving his own title in the end. All I can say is go to Berkley for the education but beware if you become too successful because Mr. Kaine will make it in his power to make you feel helpless under his rule."
