I read the review from June 2004 about religion classes offered to the students and I think a few important facts need to be stated! I think the person that wrote that forgot to mention the religion classes are optional and are not part of the official school day! If he/she does not want their child

Yes, the majority of children are Roman Catholic but there are also many other denominations that attend our school but do not attend the religion program (their choice) and either arrive at 8:30 am (start of school) or can ride the bus and arrive at 7:30 am and have a free period from 7:30 - 8:30 am under supervision! We are very fortunate! Read less

I must admit that the school has an excellent academic record and a motivated team of educators. However, one issue I do have with Bartelso Elementary is the church sesssions they have in the mornings. Our student comes home with colorings of 'Jesus' and various other religious propanganda. I understand
... Read more that almost 100% of the students are of the Roman Catholic faith which explains how this school gets away with such a violation. I think it's unfortunate that such young impressionable children are being brainwashed at such a young age and are given no choice. Bottom line---if you are Catholic, this school is great for you. If you are of the belief that public schools should remain secular, then stay away from this school! Read less
