Bells Elementary is a Wonderful Elementary School. My son came to this school in second grade and has made outstanding growth. This school was one of three Colleton County Schools that made AYP last year. I am proud of the success that Bells has created in my child.

Many of the students look like they don’t want to be here. I don’t blame them! Many of the students are mean and don't care about their academics at all. The environment is really toxic! Some teachers are nice and really care about the students. Others seem like they don't know how to teach. Many of my peers almost failed a class all because a teacher couldn't explain what they were teaching. Some teachers aren't even in the school and instead are online. Late busses are very common so be sure you have a ride to get home. Even though the principal makes very reasonable points and is trying to make things better, the school is very chaotic. Nothing is stable. As long as you ignore all the mean kids and surround yourself with students who like you the way you are, you will survive this school until senior year. If you’re about to be a freshman, I feel sorry for you. After I graduate, I will be sure to get rid of everything that has to do with this district.
