- This school is by far one the best schools I have been too. Im a student at this school, and one thing i can tell you is that the staff and leadership has put alot of effort for this year. you may not easily see it, but behind the scenes alot of work is put into the year so that students are happy with the enviroment and may succeed. they offer so many apportunities that i have never heard off at other schools. i can tell you many great things about Birmingham
