I went to BAMS all three years and each year was wonderful. The teachers are outgoing and good at their jobs! Sure every school has some mean teachers but I'm glad I went to BAMS and not somewhere like edgewood where I would feel in danger. The kids there are very nice and it's not hard making new friends.

This school is no fun. I used to love going to school at Fallston, and here at Bel Air they push you way to hard. My grades are lower then they have ever been and it's like I have no time to even hang out with my friends. I'm always working. I hate Bel Air, I can't wait to graduate.

I was homeschooled from third grade to seventh grade and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but last year I entered Bel Air as an eighth grader.

I could not have asked for a better band program, math program, language arts program, science, and social studies program.

Bel Air is the worst school I've ever come to know. My child went there and the teachers did ot challenge even though I requested for him to skip a grade or take a higher grade math class.

The teachers at this school are overall very pleasant. My child likes all of his teachers. I am glad to see that others have the same opinion about the school's effort with children with special needs-little to none. There are a wide variety of extracurricular activities, but with limited availability.
