BCE began the Leader in Me program in the 2017 - 2018 school year. Students who display leadership characteristics are recognized each month.

Staff welcomes students each morning while entering school. Even with large class sizes (approximately 20 students) my child's teachers have identified her strengths and weaknesses, and motivated her to succeed. Students are encouraged to step into leadership roles.

I recently had enrolled my oldest son in this school. I was told two different bus schedules, and told me the wrong area to stand, for a whole week he has missed school. i have yet to meet the teacher but if this is the start and dont think he will continue to go to this school.

This school has been here for many years. My 52 yr old husband went here, our children went here and now our granddaughter goes here. The staff gives this school a feeling of being at home. They are caring and friendly educators who really want the best for their students. I just wish there was a way to get the parents nore involve in their childrens education to bring this back up to a School of Excellence.
