Bells Elementary is an amazing school with wonderful staff, teachers and admin. The principal is kind and caring and knows each student by name. You can not go wrong by sending your child there. Everyone that works there will treat your child as one of their own. My child was in Pre-K last year and those teachers and assistants were such a blessing to my child.

I attended this school during the recent academic year, and unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing not anything like what the teachers said it would be. Based on what I went through, I would not recommend this school. From the beginning, I found many of the teachers to be unapproachable and, at times, unprofessional. There was a clear pattern of favoritism. I didn't learn much form my teachers at all i just know it will be so hard going into 8th grade after barley learning anything in 7th. In my virtual classes, I sometimes felt that my questions weren’t welcomed or taken seriously. When I did receive answers, they often came across as sarcastic or condescending, which made learning even more discouraging one teacher that was notorious for doing this was my math teacher. Another serious concern was student privacy. I found it uncomfortable and invasive that staff would monitor students even during basic activities like going to the restroom. As a student, I felt constantly belittled rather than supported. The virtual format also lacked meaningful engagement. For many students, this is their only social time, yet the school offered very few in-person events or opportunities for interaction. The limited activities that were available felt more suited to much younger students, not middle or high schoolers. Older students deserve programming that respects their age and stage of development. I chose this school to leave an unsafe environment, and while it may have provided a physically safer alternative, it still failed to offer a respectful, supportive, and enriching educational experience. This school needs serious improvement in staff professionalism, student support, and program design. Students shouldn't feel dismissed or ignored.
