This school was a real eye opener after moving from an inner-city school mentality. It is has many of the features of a private school due to some of the very generous parent donations . After having two of my children graduate from BMHS, I have to say that I am glad they received an education in the Eagle County. The only complaint I have is. I never found a way to connect with other parents. I was not asked to volunteer and it was difficult for my teens find their niche with the other students. On the plus side, it has a stellar science department which not only taught my children the fundamentals of science, but instilled a passion in my youngest for science that I never thought existed! This includes the Social Sciences taught by Mr Phelan, who provided my teens with a journey of self discovery which none of us will soon forget. A math department that is becoming stronger and more stable everyday thanks to some great leadership and finally a foreign language department that is truly unique. I could go on forever but by now I think you all get my point. Great academic opportunities, not so great inclusion for new community members. ~kl

I have 3 children at EES and this little school has been such a gift to our family! Their dual language instruction has been a pioneer for education in out county and in the state. Kids are finishing elementary school and are able to read, write and speak in both spanish and English. The teachers are passionate, creative and teach to the individual child. The diversity in the school is wonderful and has taught my daughters the value of working with others. The accommodate children with special needs and those that are considered GT, all while fostering a love and excitement for learning. Please go and check this school out for yourself. They truly educate the whole child.
