The teachers are very engaging with my grandchildren. I feel that they have their best interest in mind.

This is the second year that my child has attended BES and I have to say that I am LESS impressed this year with the school overall! Last year, after pre-registering and speaking directly with the principle in regards to specific concerns about my child's behavior and making sure that this child was carefully matched with a teacher that can not only handle this behavior but also keep my child engaged while in class, I find out at back to school night that my child somehow was overlooked in the classroom assignment process and was placed into the only class that had room for my child. Which just so happened to have the most passive teacher that I have had the pleasure of meeting to date; which made for a very frustrating and over-challening school year! This year has been WORSE! My child has a teacher that is just a passive but also disorganized and is a self admitted adha adult with focus issues! There are also a handful of children in this class that have behavior issues and my child has been physically assaulted three times while at the school with no consequences to my childs assaulter and bitten twice on the bus with no consequences to the bitter! We WILL be moving this summer!

My son is in the first grade. Mrs.Garner and Mrs.Kibbey was the best teachers. They went over and beyond to help care for my son, when his health was bad. He never got behind on his work with their help,compassion, just motherly teachers. My son my ready school even on his worst days
