We are a military family and our kids have attended several schools. BES is really a hidden gem. I'm not really sure I understand all the negativity in these (mostly older) posts but I think a refresh is needed in the ratings. BES has the AMES (gifted and talented) program for the area and it is outstanding with great teachers, low student to teacher to ratio (about 10:1), and very competitive programs. It is true that there are many low-income families that attend this school and those kids have some extra challenges to deal with I'm sure, but the school makes every effort to address these concerns through a caring faculty and Government grants for food and uniforms. My kids were even issued high quality laptops and have been immersed in strong academics. I really think the school's ranking by this website should be reconsidered. I am glad my kids have attended BES.

This the 5th Elementary school I've had kids in at feel this among the top. A great atmosphere appears to have found itself in this place since the 7 years from the negative review. The greatschools rating has increased during this time also. Something good is happening there.

I love this school. Don't get me wrong there are some issues that need to be dealt with. Like Bullying and children not wanting to learn, but it is not totally up to the teachers. Parents need to help with this too. You need to remember this school is under a new Principal and she can not get everything corrected in one year!!!!!! Give this school some time and it will be the number one school!!!!!!

This school has serious racial issues that are not addressed nor throughly investigated. The majority of the children that attend this school are not interested in learning and therefore distract those that want to learn. I am not confident the teachers have control of the classroom and may feel somewhat intimidated by the kids that are in the higher grades. This school district has done nothing for my children when it comes to education for the past three years. As long as I have school aged children I will never return to Beaufort. Beaufort County schools need to get a clue!
