aboslute teerible school and is not gud school.

I give a good rather than a great because though most teachers are very helpful and willing to work with the parent, there is always that one!

We just moved jere year ago , hoping to get a fresh start, but the school has been a nightmare & particularly the principal. The school has a huge bullying problem my son in the year we’ve been here has been physically assaulted three times at least being slapped hard enough by the student that ruptured his eardrum he is ADHD and autistic and he’s been made fun of for it. He’s been called Megamind, big head, sped (special needs as an insult) among many other things, a lot of which are curse words & inappropriate things that shouldn’t be helping in seventh grade, the principal Mr jones does very little about it is extremely manipulative & rude and every time it’s to brought to his attention it’s a fight to get him to listen or do anything about it usually resulting him and calling my child liar and he knows these other kids and they wouldn’t do or say something like that even when it’s on camera and worse, I’m literally telling my child that him getting hit with his fault because he walked near that kid tried to speak to him. They didn’t wanna be spoken to and I quote “ this could’ve been avoiding if you would’ve just stayed away from him and not to talk to him when he didn’t wanna be talk to you” which is disgusting me because that’s not a reason to hit someone this happed again where they stole his shoe off him & threw it in a trash can. the principal’s response to that was the that “ the garbage can was clean, so I don’t think it was not big of a deal and it looks like he got it back with a minute or two so they didn’t even have it that long and once again, your son was talking to them and they thought it was annoying that’s why they did it and he needs to not be annoying people cause I could be seen as instigating” so wrong of an adult that’s supposed to be taken care of Kids to say. no matter if he’s annoying or walk too close to them or try to talk to them he shouldn’t get hit or verbally abused or his shoes taken off him or anything else. It’s toThe point where’s kids are scared to go to the office to talk to him to tell him anything happened because they know that they’re gonna get called liars He’s not gonna listen to them or do anything or worst are gonna believe the bullies instead of them & they’ll end up in trouble somehow for something they didn’t do simply because the bully has fr friends willing to back them up and say that they didn’t do it were my son does not have friends to back him up wich as been the case a few times

I love Blountstown Elementary. My son went to school there from pre-k to 3rd grade. All of his teachers were great and cared about the students. Most of the teachers have been there forever. The staff that aren't teachers have been teachers and/or have been students at BES when they were young and their kids have attndended BES. It's like a big family to me there. I'm quite sure some may have con's about the school but there will never be perfect school. However, I never had any problems really with my son there. I stayed active at the school and with my son. If I had any concerns or questions, I addressed them and had no problems. I would tell anybody that BES is GREAT!
