With great empathy and compassion, please do not register your child to attend Bethesda Elementary (BE) School. The inept academic structure and the one-size fits all teaching model will cause your child to lag at least two (to three) years behind their level of academic competency. Sadly, your parental concerns as you advocate for your child's academic success, will be construed by BE (administrators/teachers) as intrusive and unwarranted. Collaboration among parents, teachers, and the administration to foster a nurturing and safe learning environment, unfortunately, is foreign to BE's mission and as a result students suffer. It is disappointing and heartfelt to write this review but for BE to thrive corrective actions must be implemented, with its students as the number one priority. Regrettably, I cannot recommend this school. :(
