Somerset Academy Collegiate

"Someone called me names and the teacher did nothing about it. Everything the serve at lunch is bad except the pizza and the fruit and my sister said she wasn’t able to eat because the pizza line was so long when she got the pizza lunch was already over. There’s a person in my class that the teachers love and he always is mean to People the only reason why they like him is because he gets good grades."

"I love this school. I have 3 children at this school, a kindergartner, a 6th grader, and an 8th grader that also takes high school classes. Every one of my kids have truly blossomed at this school. They have all been in clubs, played sports, performed in theater and made some incredible friends. The teachers are amazing, my kids love this school so much, they never want to leave. I absolutely recommend this school to anyone that is looking for a new school for their children."

"I’m somewhat torn by this school. While I believe that my two daughters are doing well and I really appreciate the afterschool program I am disappointed at the lack of communication between the teachers and parents. In an age of instant information and social networking you would think you would be informed of your kids’ progress. I feel very cut off from the day to day goings on of my children. Their homework is not very clear either. Perhaps I am simply not aware of the tools to check on their progress but getting clear answers from the office can be a bit of challenge as well. I also have gripes with the cafeteria and how they conduct business but I frankly don’t even want to go into it. To be fair though I have to say I have seen real progress in my girls’ ability to read. They are very literate and the school has definitely scored major points there. My little one is only in kindergarten! Math however is still a bit of struggle. Perhaps a liaison could spearhead a math program for kids and parents. Just a thought."

"I love the school but I think it's very unfair when I see a group of kids standing in the rain while teachers kids are in the cafeteria. Where is the courtesy? If it was your kid. I'd bet you'd let them in. How sad! Even the older kids are allowed into the gym early if it's raining! Update to 12-7-18 It's pouring once again at 6:50 a.m. and again the staff at Brooks does not let the kids inside and leaves them outside in the cold and rain! I will not be bringing my kids back next year after the holidays! Update 12-10-18 Today it is 36 degrees outside. I can see the kids in the sky arena outside shivering. I can see the elementary children standing outside huddled against each other. I see the staff has their own kids inside nice and warm. No excuses! Children are children! I always stay with my kids until they open doors. I understand there are some parents that need to get to work asap. I know in public schools, they let kids in when it's cold or raining. My kids will not be returning to this school next year as the staff is cold and heartless"

"My children love this school! This is our first year in a public school, so we were nervous about the transition. So far so good. My little ones are learning so much! I feel that they are being challenged academically and the staff are amazing. Teachers communicate with parents daily and we know what is happening in the classroom. Very blessed to have been lead to BCA!"
