Bethel

I absolutely LOVE Clear Lake Elementary School. I was vey apprehensive about my daughter attending Kindergarten, especially after the Covid Lockdown. The teachers and staff are fantastic. They really care about each student and their families. My daughter cries if she has to stay home from school sick. She doesn’t want to miss out on anything. The Spring Music program is something we look forward to. Ms. Bender made the transition from home to Kindergarten seamless. She ignited a love of learning in my child. Ms. Cotter the absolute best 1st grade teacher. She sends out pictures of the kids and what they’re learning multiple times a week. Every Friday there is a news letter going over the weeks , lessons, special events, Judy everything. It also preps us for the week ahead. I have older children that attended 4j K-12. I felt so left out of the loop until conferences rolled around. And even then it didn’t seem like they cared all that much. Cear Lake feels like family. Mrs. Malala in the office goes above and beyond. Whether you call or message her through the app she immediately takes care of all your needs. I love the new covered play area, it ensures the kids still get outside during all the rain. The Library is full of our authors, like Mo Willems. Music and PE are equally loved my my child. Bus 7 has THE BEST bus driver , I have ever encountered. She is patient, kind and on time. If there is going to be any change she let’s me know right away. School morning relaxed and very pleasant here at home. My child is happy to get up and get ready for school and just go have the best day. None of that would be possible without the wonderful staff teachers Clear Lake Elementary I couldn’t be happier with the experience we’ve had. Actually, I could be happier, we have just found out that our beloved School will be closing due to budget cuts. This is very distressing. I like the pick up and drop off an easy stress, free event. some of the schools Close by have nightmare pick up and drop off. It’s like a congestion it takes forever. It’s just stressful. I will take an older, cozier school where kids get the attention and education they deserve. Those things are priceless. Soon she will become just a number in overcrowded classrooms , the fact that the building is newer is of little comfort. Hopefully the school board will see that our little school embodies all of the values of Bethel school district. I recommend this inclusive school to all.

My children have been to a lot of schools all over the country because of my husbands line of work. Danebo School has been very good for my children. The teachers, office ladies, the Principal and all the staff are very loving and helpful and they truly make the students feel special and important. I love this school. It's older and smaller and the class sizes are smaller than most in the area. The teacher are excellent! Parent volunteers are welcomed and appreciated.

My son has been physically assaulted at this school by fellow students and there has been minimal intervention. Now, he is being harassed by teaching staff and coming home in tears from adults cruel words. Not ok.

I have lived in Oregon my entire existence (35 years young). This is literally the best, and I cannot express that enough, best school ever! My daughter was shy, didn't make friends easily and hated going to school till she made it to Melabon. She absolutely loves this school! She's making friends, wanting to go to school and excelling while there. She's finally being challenged which before she wasn't. He had been doing workbooks way before kindergarten. The staff is amazing wonderful people.

It's a pretty good school in my experience.I've been going here since 1st grade and not much big problems.Now, our experiences with this school might not be the same but I've gotten really nice teachers. My mom and dad likes this school as much as I do and I recommend to try it out first, you and your child (a student like me) may feel different feelings on the school. Make sure to check in with your child often to see how they feel about it overtime. If you think your child is having a hard time, possibly ask them whats going on or try to comfort them. Try this school out! It's pretty good!

We are finishing up our first year at Prairie Mountain, the principals and staff are so welcoming! The kids are great
