Esta escuela merece 5 estrellas, es excelente en todos sus aspectos. Mi hija odiaba faltar un día a clases ya que le encantaba y disfrutaba estudiar allí.

We moved from private school and we have been pleasantly surprised with the level of education! I have 2 kids in different grades and I noticed that they cover the topics at the same time, just at a different grade level. The teachers have been very detailed with feedback and communication and this school seems very cohesive and a vibrant community.

Would not recommend, and the reason comes down to accountability.I asked both the principal, Ms Sharpe, and the school district to tell me exactly what interventions my daughter received: who helped her, how often, and what the plan was. To this day I have never gotten that information. I believe that is because it does not exist.Here is what her kindergarten year looked like. Papers came home sporadically, sometimes once a month, sometimes whenever the teacher felt like it. When they did come, it was a stack of 30s, 40s and 50s with no note, no phone call, no explanation. Just a smiley face in the agenda book every single day. My daughter told me she often did not understand the work and could not finish it. She said sometimes she got help and sometimes she did not. Either way the papers came back marked F instead of anyone stopping to ask why a five year old was failing.I requested a meeting early in the year because I could already see she was struggling. I was told not to worry, that it was still early. Nothing changed after that meeting. I kept advocating for a paraprofessional and as far as I know she never received one. All I ever got was "she is receiving extra help."Since leaving, I have heard from other parents who say their children's IEPs are not being followed either. That tells me what happened to us was not a one time breakdown. It is a pattern.I waited a full year to write this so I could compare Bentley to her new school. The difference is night and day. That comparison is what convinced me this is not normal. The communication at her new school is awesome, my daughter has expressed to me that she loves her new teacher she said "she smiles all the time and is always happy to see me" we no longer deal with morning melt downs and refusing to go to school. When they notice that she is having difficulties they reach out to me first. Not me having to chase down meetings with the teacher and most of all they show us RESPECT as parents. Bentley has the potential to be a great school. The teachers are working inside a system, and the system starts at the top. Right now the leadership is simply not there.

I would not recommend this school for high school. There is a noticeable lack of strong teachers in both science and mathematics. Communication is inconsistent—some teachers respond to messages while others do not. Additionally, certain teachers become upset when parents email with questions or concerns, and at times they address these issues in front of the entire class. This can be especially difficult and embarrassing for teenagers to deal with.
