I have two step-children who have attended BECS for the past couple of years. On the one hand, I'm glad the school challenges the children and gives them homework every night, and I think the teachers they've had have been mostly qualified on the whole. However, their father and I are not even close

We've REPEATEDLY requested to be in the loop, both to teachers and principal, since we share custody with their mother pretty equally, but to no avail. They may go to another school next year.

My children have attending this school for 3 years and can definitely say this school is one of the better in Brighton. I removed them from another public school in the area because of the incredibly large class sizes and poor teachers. BECS CORE Knowledge program is fabulous and starting science in

The principals are mediocre at best but you will find support with many other parents eager to have quality education for their children. If the school would add a few more teachers like TJ Olmsted (4th grade) and a few others like him I would gladly upgrade this review to 4.5 stars. Read less

Our son attended this school for the 07-08 school year. After an unsatisfactory year, we decided it would be best to check out Colorado Virtual Academy. Our son took the placement tests and placed 2 years behind where he is supposed to be. I do not recommend this school to any parent who is involved

My student started at BECS as a kindergartner and is now in the 4th grade. BECS's CORE curriculum is challenging and expects alot out of young students, and most students step up well to this challenge. However, there is ALOT of homework assigned at this school, and it can be a challenge for kids to

GT services are non-existent here, as are any special-needs services unless your child has an IEP or 504. As with any school, parents are the best teachers and you need to advocate for your child. We are trying to place our child at another school where the curriculum can be tuned to his individual needs, but until that happens BECS is the best choice for us in Brighton for K-8. Read less

School was great, especially compared to FLHS. Enjoyed extracurricular activities very much. First two years of attendance (fall 2001-spring 2003) admin was unorganized and low on disciplinary action. last two years attendance (fall 2003-spring 2005) Admin was overhauled and school was turned around

This is my child s first year at BECS. Thus far, my main concern is with the homework load. I am all for homework, however 5 to 6 pages a night seems a little overwhelming for a child his age.

I never could have imagined that my child would have advanced so much in one year. He is a kindergartener and is now reading and writing and counting past 100. Counting by 2's, 5's and 10's. Has made great friends and has a awesome teacher. We love this school!
