Byram Hills is a nice school district with teachers that are ready to help with any doubts that you may have. They are willing to help you clarify your questions and want to see you succeed. Although there isn't a lot of diversity in Byram Hills, being a student myself, I can say that there is no favoritism shown to a specific race or culture. There may be a tough time trying to find friends, but after a few months or even a few years, you would definitely be able to find some of the most reliable loving people. Over the years, I have had to experience getting split up from my friends in middle school because there were two separate teams. I was always on one team while the friends I had made the previous year, were all on the other team. This separation allowed me to branch out and talk to people I thought I would never talk to. As high school approached, all of the friends that I made joined into one big friend group which didn't last. Now I have found friends to trust and rely on.
I had a pretty good experience at BHHS. Although I was one of few people of color, I never felt discriminated against or even really encountered someone who was racist to me. They had great resources, great teachers, a pretty friendly environment, competitive academics, and most importantly fed their students amazing food. One thing I would like to see is an increase in diversity. I know that the school isn't the only factor in this, but the towns apart of the school district being the main reason for such a low diversity rate. Another thing I would like to see change is the that I wish the guidance counselors helped more with the college process, because for me I didn't hire a college advisor like other students, because I though my guidance counselor would help more than he did, but I was kind of left to help myself basically. But overall, I enjoyed my 4 years at high school there making long lasting friendships and memories. PETITION TO REOPEN THE BYRAM BEAN COFFEE SHOP!!
Byram Hills is a wonderful school to attend in regards to academic performance. Nothing short of excellence and exceptional work is expected from students which creates a very rigorous and academically challenging environment. This competitiveness creates an opportunity for students to push themselves to be their best selves. However, despite the fact that Byram Hills High School is a place to foster exceptional work, it is also a place that severely lacks in terms of diversity and sociability. Being one of the only Hispanic students, one of the only open Gay men, and being one of the only low-income students in the district has created its own array of challenges for me and students alike. If Byram Hills and its surrounding area had more students of color and more diversity of thought, it would be a top notch school in my book. Unfortunately, its uniform population and conservation of a wealthy unrealistic lifestyle knocks it down far.
