Santa Rosa County boasts some of the best schools in Florida, and Berryhill Elementary is no exception to the rule! This school is safe, regularly meets and exceeds state testing scores, and has been a wonderful fit for our family. Berryhill sends their students to PE and recess each day, so they're always getting some physical exercise. The cafeteria has several options for lunch, and the students can even get ice cream. I have been encouraged to visit my son's school several times, both for school-wide events like the Halloween parade and for classroom events like Mystery Reader. His class even went on a field trip to a farm last fall, and I was impressed how organized each class was. When visiting the school, you must show ID before entry, and name tags have to be returned before leaving (doors are always locked). Children have tons of resources, including a special art classroom and library. My son has made tons of friends and actually enjoys going to school, and I have felt comfortable reaching out to his teacher with any questions. I would recommend Berryhill Elementary to anyone.

This school will let boys in 5th grade put their hands on your daughters and refuse to do anything because they call it horseplay, my daughter got punched right in between her breasts somewhere a boys hand had no buisness being.... and the school didn't do anything,imagine what kind of message that sends to the other little girls going there!!!!! We took my daughter out of this school,the assistant principal can't do her job to save her life.

The school is Berryhill Elementary in Milton, Florida. The thing that impressed me most was how helpful the staff was that I had a chance to meet and how they seem to take the safety of ALL the children the same for each child. The homework assignments are very organized for the students and helps the parents know what is expected each day. The only concern I have and I have questioned this and received no answer to date - is: "Why does the school system let the children out so early in the day? How will they get the need information to graduate if they do not go to school the entire day as the schools in the surrounding states?" Other than these questions I think the school is very adequate at teaching our children and WE as parents, grandparents and concerned citizens should support the school and the students in every way possible.

The teachers and office staff have been great. My disappointment is the lack of parental involvement. There simply are no ongoing, regular opportunities to volunteer-just the once or twice a year fundraisers. None of my children's classes even had sign up sheets for room parents. Teachers are missing out on valuable help from parents who are left wondering "what can I do to help?". Other schools we've been at had well organized, well advertised opportunities for involvement which created a classroom environment in which parents and teachers knew each other and parents felt welcome. I miss that camaraderie which is a shame because it is the students who benefit from knowing their parents and others see their education as worthwhile.

We moved here specifically for my child to go to this school and I have been pretty disappointed. This school "ain't all that". This is our second year here and I have to agree with the April 2011 reviewer. I have had a similar experience with the main office. It's pretty much a clipped "you're bothering me" response, or I get no answer at all. I was allowed to change my child's bus number after school without even producing identification. I didn't think about it until after I'd left. The lady never even asked my name! The saving grace last year was the teacher. Awesome lady, great communication. This year it's totally different. Teacher will not respond to my notes, much less call me as requested. They don't seem to want me in there, but they sure don't mind asking for money every time I turn around.

I am very disappointed in the staff, I am new to the area and I called to make an appointment to visit but the secretary asked me what my address was and she blew me off. She was unprofessional, as a Parent I know I have the right to choose. There rating maybe high but attitude is 0. Thank You P.S. I called today!
