Bethlehem Lutheran School

They are quick to jump to conclusions when it comes to under performing students. Quick to call social services. They were even deceptive in making the report per the social worker herself. They defend their incompetent teachers and victim blame the students. They don't have any kind of behavioral or emotional programs or alternative learning when it comes to the emotional needs of the children. They bully the students and they are quick to cover their tracks and defend each other’s actions at the expense of the children. There’s a reason they have Some of the lowest test Scores in the State.

I was extremely disappointed with this school. The quality of the education my child received was what I would consider extremely lacking. Firstly I am one of those parents that does not understand why someone would become a teacher or principal and start having babies. I understand they have the best maternity leave of any job. On the flip side when you work with extremely young children, constant change throughout the year is disruptive to their learning processes. Just a thought that maybe if a job is for maternity leave, they should constantly working with middle or high school kids. While my child was here not only did the principal have maternity leave but so did my child’s kindergarten teacher. That disruption with her teacher created massive issues at home. My kiddo does not take well to constant change. Secondly, I understand the extra precautions for Covid. Every morning I give my child and immunity drop. Not a cough drop but an immunity drop. I have done this since she’s been old enough to have a piece of her candy in her mouth. I get a call from the school 20 minutes after I drop her off saying oh you need to come pick her up because she has a cough drop. I said it was the last of immunity drop and it was not a cough drop and my child is very aware of what they are!!!! She’s in kindergarten she has not had a cough or a fever, for goodness sakes she’s not even had any mucus coming out of her nose. They still made me come pick her up. The only good thing about the school was the after school program at kidsmart. My daughter started her new school being behind, despite her supposedly doing well on the testing here. Really makes a parent start questioning the process. She has been making extremely large learning strides at her new school. I blame Slater for slowing her education and am thankful to her new school for giving her the extra guidance to get her caught up.

We love Colfax Elementary! I had 2 kids complete kindergarten through 5th grade there, who continue to excel in middle and high school thanks to the foundations taught at Colfax. Currently, I have kids in ECE and 1st grade at Colfax. The level of education is exceptional. The teachers are heavily invested and care about the whole child experience. The rest of the staff is top notch, caring for my kids like their own. But my favorite part of Colfax is the community, a strong sense of belonging as soon as you walk up to the school.

Muy bueno escuela, mi hijo mejoró mucho en 1 año

I sent my grand children there when Youngquest and Martinez were there..Youngquest was prejudice against white children..I had 4 ,I moved to a Lakewood schools..This school ought to be there down and a park put in .. it's a discrace....

If you care about your child's education, then do not go to this school. No grades, no real guidance, no discipline, no structure and no motivation geared towards actual education. It does not hold kids accountable, does not teach responsibility and does not set kids up for success.
