I myself attended Bagley grades K-9, now so does my two children. Most of the teachers either live in the community or have famliy that does. I feel like this helps everyone feel closer together. I never worry about my childrens safety because the teachers are so caring. Sure every school has a few

I went to Bagley School myself and now my child goes there. I feel like he is getting a great education in most subjects and the dicipline is good. Of course there are a few teachers that I would rather he not be in their class, but for the most part they are good.

First, let me say I am a parent. Bagley is not the school many think it is. There are some good teachers, but there are several that I consider poor. Often times children are not treated fairly - you see it year after year. Some children get the best teachers while others are thrown whereever. If

The PTO is basically a small group of parents that run the show - other than a few large functions, parents are not encouraged to help. There are good things about it, but overall a 'fair.' Read less

My name is Faith, and I attend Bagley Jr. High. About six years ago, I was in a car accident, leaving me paralyzed from the neck down. I was attending Bagley before my accident, and I was simply amazed at the support and concern I received from my fellow students and teachers. When I was ready to return

Therefore, my mom did not have to be my aide. Bagley has done so much for me over these six years through PTO and fundraisers, and they continue to help me with anything. They even supplied me with a laptop and Track-I-R, so I could do my school work more independently. I love my school, and I never want to leave! Read less

I attended Bagley grades 1-9. Now, I have purposely moved back to the area so that my son could attend there also. Bagley students do well on standardized tests. They also have a lot of school spirit. The community is small and the kids know each other well. I can allow my son to spend the night with

The teachers have been very interested in encouraging reading. I find this helpful because I think that if you like to read, and can understand what you read, then you can do well in almost any subject. My child has ADD and every one of his teachers have been very interested and helpful in getting him to concentrate. They are eager to have parent/teacher meetings to get to know him better. I feel like they are friends and we are all in this endeavor together. Read less
