I believe this school deserves a higher rating. It is possibly the most diverse school in the Bel Air area. I believe it's important to expose children to more than one ethnicity for cultural awareness. The staff members always appear to genuinely care about the children. I have one child that requires additional help with math and reading when she first attended at the beginning of the year. By the middle year she was reading at mid level to the top of her class! I am so pleased with this school. The staff and PTA truly makes this a great school community!

We moved to Bel Air from Texas in 2011 and have really enjoyed the town, the people, and Bel Air elementary. We have 3 children all in elementary school, so education was top priority in our house hunt. We found that the curriculum is ahead of Texas as our kids tested behind and needed to catch up (our former school rates a 9 on Great schools). The principal of Bel Air called me several times to answer my questions, the teachers and staff are great and very friendly, and my kids have adjusted beautifully....my daughter was voted to Student Government!! They offer fun family activities with movies, games, or gingerbread making and lots of opportunities to volunteer. I was a little nervous about the Great Schools rating, but we are all very happy here.

I'm thankful for getting the chance to attend this school.When I went to this school I was a shy little kid who moved from VA who liked art but Bel Pre did more then just give me a good education but it made me feel comfortable in accepting environment and made me the out going kid I'm am today.They also gave me a chance to explore who I want to be when I grow up,now 6 years later I'm going to Albert Einstein High School for the Visual Art Center.Thank you Bel Pre.
