My child attended Bella Vista since he was in TK. All his teachers have been phenomenal. My child was challenged to go above and beyond. High expectations were set for him. This school has a functioning Student Council where students are active in leadership and have a voice in what events occur. My son was a part of this committee and had opportunities to present to other classes. The PTA is very active and academic achievement is recognized in the lower grades for learning their letters, sounds, rainbow words, and math facts. I would like to see student achievement highlighted more in the upper grades to spur them on to achieve in middle school. I am more than satisfied that my child attended Bella Vista Elementary.

Worse school ever! I’d like to point out that the principal and new vice principal are incompetent. They like to point fingers instead of understanding harassment and bullying. My kid was bullied and harassed in summer school going into 6th grade and continued 2 months into regular school. As a parent please report this school should they become unprofessional and lazy at their job. That is what we had to with the district and police department. Don’t settle with formality and keep tabs, otherwise they will over look your kid.

I have been a parent at this school for the last 7 years straight. Also an alumni that wanted their children at the school it’s been an absolute disappointment over the last 7yrs the school has had an increased, drugs, alcohol and kids have … on campus and in cars, students being bullied by classmates/teammates, When a teacher/coach was told of bullying that coach did nothing about and it’s still going on to this day. There is a lack of accountability for there actions at this school nowadays. If it wasn’t to the school having some teachers that care and teach the avid, Pathways and AP program's. I would have gave them the school a lower rating that’s why I’m, given are the reason why it has two stars. They handled the COVID the best as they could with the Constant changes. This is why I gave them an other star making it a total of three stars. They need to bring back detention suspension and expulsion because there are no longer any consequences for students actions
