Well I currently attend this school. It is one of the best schools to learn about life and how to make it in the real world. But of course, thats not all. The teachers focus on getting you child to graduate from High School in order for them to continue their learning in college. Many parents argue that
... Read more Bell High School is not a good place for your kids to graduate and that the school needs to do way more for the students. I believe that thats not true. In my year going to Bell, the teachers would sacrafice their time after work to tutor kids. Its not the schools fault that your child doesn't take advantage of these opportunities. If you want you child to learn to be independent and care about life, then Bell High School is defenetly a perfect school for them to attend! Read less

One of the problems that Bell Senior High teachers face is that 'most' parents do not take an active role in their child's education. School does not end at 3:30, my parents made sure I worked when I got home. I was REQUIRED to read and work on my studies. I didn't get on MySpace or on the Play Station.
... Read more I read and studied. Out of a class of 30, approximately 8 parents attend Parent Night Conferences. School isn't a babysitting facility it is a place that you are as active in your son/daughter's education as the teacher. Out of 150 students, when I taught, approximately 25-30 parents showed any interest in their child's academic progress. This was consistent in my 10 years in the classroom. I never had more than 30 parents show up. That's an F in my book too! Read less

I'm a student at Bell High and even though im in honor classes I still see how the rest of the students kind of get lost in the shuffle. It is very crowded and textbooks are too worn out. I had to tape up my last math book together.

I graduated in 2007. In my four years at Bell High School was one of the best experience. I always knew i was going to graduate since ninth grade. One of my goals was to become a honor student or a AP student through out the whole year but in this situation the councelor didnt push us to succeed or

Now i open my eyes and think of the past Why i didnt say anything about this why dont we get the same support with our education.I will succeed in life because thats my goal and if i ever had kids this would not be the high school they will attend.

Bell High is a prime example of the real world - a constant imperfect place that changes daily. I'm a proud graduate and teacher there... In my opinion, it is the best place to learn about life, gain insights, and build one's character.

I'm disappointed. Its so disgusting that teachers are so supportive to students receiving 'C' grades. The district must come in and take a second look at all teachers again. The good thing is that my child understands my purpose.

I am a graduate of Bell High. I agree that the parents of Bell High students must involve themselves in their children's education much more than they do. However, the school has a long history of administrative incompetence. The only students that succeed at Bell HS are the very small minority
