GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
I had 3 children enrolled in Bethel Elementary. I received little to no communication from my children's teachers despite two of my children saying their teacher had snapped at them multiple times. My Kindergartener was very discouraged that despite her good behavior, she had received no recognition when other kids had, she is a well behaved child and despite my reaching out to the teacher, no misbehavior was reported. One of the teachers sent out an email right before the grading period ended that many of her students were failing because they hadn't turned in their classwork- too little too late and very discouraging. Vice Principle decided that the drop off line was a good time to lecture while my KGer was crying.
