Burney-Harris-Lyons Middle School
Debra Smith: I really like BHL, This is my daughter second year and she improved so much; she had a half of year at Coile middle and I perfer BHL. The teachers and the Principal cares more about the students. They give them confident, and tell them they can do anything; instead of knocking them down. We didnt have a good experience at Coile. But it is not the principal, it was about 2 teachers that didnt have the time or education to teach those students. They might have got the AYP scores. But i sure it was by intimadation. I Love BHL
