This school is so middle of the road, I just graduated this year from PWB its alright, the teachers are pretty good, some of them are a little harsh with the work and put out to much but that is a very small amount of them, this school is full of wannabe gangsters though

Yo sí recomiendo esta escuela a la comunidad ya que veo que los estudiantes se desarrollan en un ambiente tranquilo y seguro. Los profesores dan buenas clases y se comunican con los padres. Se realizan actividades como ferias, tutorías, clubs,exposiciones y competencias. La escuela ha ganado premios nacionales en competencias de Ajedrez, Robotica, Ciencias, etc.

Ni Rosario que es la segunda, ni el principal, ni la consejera , asco de personas , así lo digo de claro, cada cual se tapan los errores, defienden lo indefendible, 0 etica , 0 profesionales, no recomiendo esta escuela , delante de mi esposo y yo en una reunión ,la consejera se burló de mi hijo haciendo un gesto y obvio que me quejé y la justificación de Rosario fue que ella tiene la costumbre de repetir lo mismo que uno dice : a quién con ese cuento ? Falta de respeto que son todos , si es verdad que hay maestros qu merecen un 10 , Álvarez es uno de ellos , una persona muy sincera, respetuosa, no dejen ahí a sus hijos si en verdad los quieren , otra cosa , no hay buena supervisión con los alumnos , las broncas son todos los días , un 0 para esta escuela , deberían de cambiar al principal que deja a uno sentado en una silla y se va como si uno fuera un perro y lo digo porque me pasó a mí , experiencia propia , Rosario ahí : no es su papel , tiene mucha tapadera con sus colegas , el superintendente debería de darse una vueltecita por ahí que va a fliplar con ese colectivo

There's lack of Teaching Skills in some of these teachers in this school. Like a new Math teacher That just came to this school my Son has been complaining that this teachers calls students failures inside his classroom. And is constantly Speaking Bad about students Parents that might work at a fast food Place like McDonald's. Where does Miami Dade Public Schools get these Teachers From?! And why Does Paul W Bell Middle Allow this From Teachers! this is totally unacceptable, and Even more when theres Kids inside that Classroom Which Have An IEP and have a Learning disability! Teachers need to help Build the future not destroy it by speaking to Kids the way they do!

Im a student at paul w bell middle i wouldnt recommend it to no one not even my friends. I have so much issues with the teachers ive never had problems with any of the kids. The staff such and just talk badly about the students they dont sit down and talk to you just give you a refferal and thats it. the past 2 years ive been in this school has been the worst 2 years of my life i regret coming here so badly i talk about it every day. They dont do anything good for the students most dont speak english and the teachers like to bully those non speaking english kids. There are a couple good teachers like 5 out of the whole school which is just insane. If youre looking to put your child here DONT!!

My niece attends Paul W. Bell middle school and I am constantly immensely disappointed with the treatment that several teachers display towards the students. As parents we place our trust in the teachers and leadership of the schools our children attend and should know without a doubt that our children are being treated with respect, dignity and care. After all, the employees at the school are contributing to shaping not only the educational future but also the childrens view of self and how they interact with others. This being said, it is completely unacceptable for any teacher to tell a child they are going to be a failure in life. Let alone an honor roll student. Smart children will always have questions, be a teacher and answer those questions. Do not try to intimidate or shame a child under any circumstance. I wish I could say that this is the only I issue my niece has experienced but it is not. The discrimination by some members of the teaching staff is outrageous. Teachers need to act in accordance with their role, if dealing with children is proving to be too much for them then perhaps it is time for them to change careers and bring in teachers who want to be a part of building the future generations instead of putting them down.

If it was not for the very few teachers that my child has had that actually go out of their way to care, I'd have nothing nice to say about this school.

I Dont even know where to start with this middle school, its Horrible Theres alot of racial discrimination religion discrimination! from experience My daughter has suffer Racial discrimination and Religion discrimination by group of teachers, Been to school spoken to South region and District and nothing is done! they Broom it under the rug! My daughter has been a victim of a witch hunt by these teachers in this school due to our Religion, come to find out that other parents have gone to school with the same issue that we are having! to the point that my daughter cant even ask to use the restroom with out being given a referral by these certain Teachers, this school will bill up there files to then suspend them and send them to opportunity schools! while the Region knows all thats going on! I wouldnt recomend any parent to put there child in this school because they will destroy your child! self-esteem self-confidence and they will turn off your kids self light!

Paul Bell is one of the most prejudice schools I have ever encountered. Ths staff singles out the darker skinned kids and the principle over looks the discrimination despite his color. My child just like other kids was bullied and was ask to play nice and try to be friends with kids that spit, pushed and that had received racial bullying several times. The school board really needs to take a closer look into Paul Bell it is so much sex, drug use and racial profiling that the school covers up. The school is horrible, the kids terrible and I would not recommend this school. It is not a diverse. If I can give it a negative star I would.

Paul W. Bell not a horrible school, but it's a good one either. Homework is homework, so I guess it's alright. The teachers seem like they were just tired of teaching and just wanted to leave. Their Programs are bad. For example, the Cambridge program was just choir with a bit of robotics sprinkled in. The had to separate it because students found it deceiving. The funny thing is that most of the good reviews are fake. The school's staff is trying to cover up the fact that this is a bad school. Don't send your child here. There are better schools than this one.

Without this school I we really do not know what we would have done. My special needs son had a horrific experience in his previous school being bullied by a teacher and her para professional . When I got involved I also started to be bullied. When asked for a transfer of teacher I was told to wait a month due to COVID. When asked again they gave me another excuse. I was tired of my son being terrified of going to school everyday so I called certain people I know(names cant be mentioned) and Paul Bell came highly recommended. Im so happy we took that leap . My son is back to being happy and no longer scared. He cant stop talking about all his Para Professionals and his sweet amazing teacher. Love love love Paul Bell

Student see the difference because staff make difference between us

When the teacher is the bully it is hard to deal correctly with that

Posted: April 3, 2019

My experience with this school has been amazing. Everyone from the staff in the office to security and teachers is really friendly and you can see they want to help. Their ASD academy is top notch as well as their Cambridge magnet program. I have seen both of my kids flourish since they've been there. The teachers go above and beyond.

No tengo nada negativo que decir muy al contrario, estoy feliz con esa escuela y principalmente con las maestras...Mrs Corvos, Mrs Alvarez, Mrs Escobar, Mrs Martin, Mrs De Armas, Mr Cornelius y Mrs Troya. En toda mi opinión son los mejores maestros que ha tenido mi hijo desde que empezó en el 2012-2013. Estoy super agradecida por la enseñanza, la confianza, la paciencia y el respeto hacia mi hijo y hacia nosotros. Siempre las voy a recordar.

Great School!! Keeps getting better every year. Now they have a Cambridge Program and the teachers are great.

Posted: February 8, 2015

This is my son first year and it is very hard for him but even all the teachers are helping me with him and they are very kind to me at anytime that I email them or called them. They are doing everything all they can to get him on track.

This school is terrible. The office staff is rude as well as some of the administration. It is very difficult to have parental involvement in this school, probably has to do with the location. Students don't care, parents don't care and even worse the staff doesn't care. My oldest came here for one year and it was alright at the time but now it is a sad dump.

Posted: May 20, 2014

The staff and administration here is terrible. Most of the reviews written here are by students or badly written reviews probably by the staff themselves. This website is to provide honest information. My oldest daughter went to PWB for a year, back then it was alright but now the school has become a sad dump. We are trying to transfer our youngest to another school. Walk into the office and you will immediately be treated disrespectfully. Very few teachers care about your children's progress and are only there for the benefits.
