I had great hopes for this school at the beginning. Yes, it is a small school but class sizes on the 6th. Grade are at 32 and there are four classes of them in addition to the 7th. And 8th. Grades.

My daughter is in her 2nd year at BELL. SHe loves the school. Since it is a new school, the school is in desperate need of funding. This is a wonderful school if you want your child to be in a smaller envirnment

I'm going to BELL Academy now as a 7th grade student. It's great because the environment is friendly, the teachers are awesome, and the funding is okay. This school needs more money, but it's really a great school!
