The teachers at Bell Elementary are for the most part kind & well-meaning; however, we were told by multiple teachers over multiple years that they didn't want our kids "to get too far ahead". This may be more of reflection on the administration than the teachers themselves, but they are much more concerned with "catching-up" students that are behind than academically challenging students who are at or ahead. There is also a fair amount of clique-iness at Bell Elementary among the students and between teachers & students.

Bell is fantastic. The teachers, principles, and entire staff are incredibly friendly and truly like teaching. The teachers take a vested interest in their students and it shows.
