We are a military family and our kids have attended several schools. BES is really a hidden gem. I'm not really sure I understand all the negativity in these (mostly older) posts but I think a refresh is needed in the ratings. BES has the AMES (gifted and talented) program for the area and it is outstanding with great teachers, low student to teacher to ratio (about 10:1), and very competitive programs. It is true that there are many low-income families that attend this school and those kids have some extra challenges to deal with I'm sure, but the school makes every effort to address these concerns through a caring faculty and Government grants for food and uniforms. My kids were even issued high quality laptops and have been immersed in strong academics. I really think the school's ranking by this website should be reconsidered. I am glad my kids have attended BES.

I know nothing about your school except that you have some great students there. My grand daughter had scoliosis and had to have a metal rod put in her spine to straighten it. That was done last year at the age of sixteen. The bottom of the spine did not heal and a screw came loose causing her to go back last week for another surgery. Both times she was given a build a bear which is what they do at Shriners Hospital in Greenville. The one she got last week was donated by your high school. I want to say thank you for the kindness shown in donating these bears. They mean a lot to my grand daughter and I will never forget the this wonderful deed. Thank you to all of the students there.

not a good school. Do not recommend
