This school is a joke a kid gets head lice and u expect them to finish out the day knowing that they can spread the lice to other students u r a joke back in my day when I went to school a student got head lice they went home immediately untill the head lice were gone but not today they don't care obviously do not send ur kids to this school because they do not care about the things that y'all's kids health and well being of ur children. The Bellevue schools should be thinking of the children's well being more than they should expessally betts elementary if they have a head lice out break they should take it more seriously this school is a joke do not send ur kids to this school

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Betz Elementary School. My first grader had a horrifying introduction to the school environment, facing extreme behavioral issues from other students right off the bat. In his first week, he was bitten and spat on, and when I brought this to the staff's attention, their response was dismissivemerely stating, "We have a lot of children with bad behavior." This lack of accountability is unacceptable.
To make matters worse, my child picked up inappropriate behavior from his peers, including flipping people off and using curse words. Again, the staff did nothing to address this concerning influence.
My fourth grader faced a different but equally distressing situation. He was repeatedly told he could not go to the bathroom, which resulted in an accident. Instead of offering support or compassion, the staff ignored his needs, leaving him to walk around in discomfort for the rest of the day.
Having grown up in Bellevue, I remember a vastly different school environment, one that actually prioritized education and student well-being. The current state of the school district is alarming; test scores have plummeted, and it feels like the Bellevue Public School Board is failing to protect and educate the children they are responsible for.
I cannot recommend Betz Elementary School based on our experience. Its clear that significant changes are needed to address the serious issues affecting the students.

The school enforces the restraint and seclusion policies on children. Meaning they will lock kids in small closed off areas with padded carpet. There are a lot of kids in this school with extreme behavioral problems and Betz makes it worse. They dont let kids have consistent sufficient recess either. It all depends on the teacher and most teachers punish kids by taking away recess time.
