I would not recommend this school to anyone. My son started 6th grade here in August, and our experience has been nothing short of distressing. Since the start of the year:•I’ve been personally threatened by a teacher.•My child has been racially bullied.•Despite my repeated concerns and my son having an active IEP, he continues to struggle with little to no support or follow-through.•I’ve had to request monthly IEP meetings because his accommodations are not being implemented correctly.•Most recently, my child was physically attacked by another student at school.As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to watch your child go through this while receiving minimal accountability or assistance from staff. I’ve tried working with the school in good faith, but the lack of safety, communication, and proper support has left me with serious concerns about how students—especially those with disabilities—are treated.I’m now exploring other options for my child’s education, but unfortunately, living in the county limits what’s available. I sincerely hope the administration takes these issues seriously for the sake of other families.

I attended Beazley for my entire elementary school years. There were good experiences and bad experiences. I remember getting in trouble for petty things when I was in kindergarten by the assistant principal at the time. I had teachers who were very bitter towards me unprovoked. I wasn’t a disrespectful student but I was always treated unfairly. Fear tactics were definitely used on kids here, teachers picked favorites and treated kids who weren’t their favorite lower. The school population is very diverse with a big range of different cultures. I didn’t have to worry about being bullied by my peers but I did have to worry about being picked on by my teachers and other adults working here though.

Great school with lots of different backgrounds, sports and clubs.
