This review is solely for the Kindergarten grade at Bain Elementary. We were very excited for our child to start Kindergarten at Bain Elementary based on the local ratings; however, our experience was far from positive and, frankly, very stressful for both our child and us as parents.Our concerns began when our child's passion for learning deteriorated rapidly after joining Bain, and we could not understand why. It became apparent that the teachers were teaching to the test and requiring pupils to complete assessments regardless of their wellbeing at the time. As a parent, being told that your child was crying during a test and that the teacher insisted they could not stop and had to finish is an absurd practice—especially for children of such a young age—and shows how detached the teacher–pupil relationship has become.Instead of a positive, comforting learning environment, we saw negative reinforcement as the driving force, and our child was subjected to this. During a parent–teacher conference, which was requested because the school said they had “concerns,” the testing results were absolutely fine. However, the teacher continued to give backhanded compliments about our child, which we found odd and unsettling, and which explained why our previously happy child was suddenly so sad at school.The teacher mentioned several times that they had 21 pupils in the class, almost as if they felt overwhelmed, despite having two assistants. Whether stress was a factor, we cannot say, but our young children should not suffer as a result. As other reviewers have mentioned, it felt as though there was a concerted effort to pigeonhole our child into a learning intervention program and subject them to counseling—none of which was needed.Overall, it was an incredibly negative experience for our family, and quite sad, as this was the start of our child’s academic journey—one we hope they will forget.We ultimately made the decision to remove our child from Bain, and they have since flourished at another school.

Bueno es una gran escuela pero tiene problemas con la educación y la enseñanza no diría que es mal escuela pero tampoco es buena .

This school is the absolute worse you make complaints about the staff that go unanswered. They have adult male security harassing 12 year old female students and have yet to solve the issue so with no repercussions security thinks it’s okay to continue to harass these young girls.
