Honestly this school isnt the best for children. Bullying and racism is a big problem, not to mention the fights within. I also have to mention the rude teachers, the ones kids cant learn with.

I have had my children and other family members attend BVHS. Wonderful caring teachers, incredible and very involved Principal and admin. Athletics are very good, with both female and male sports inclusive and successful. More than half the student body plays a sports at the school. Band, Music Machine, Dance Team, Sports Medicine program, BVTV, IB/AP classes are some other amazing programs offered. We have known many students involved in a variety of these activities, all have had great experiences. We are lucky to have this school in our community.I also read some other reviews and felt compelled to write about our personal experiences. There are always kids and parents who don’t have as good of an experience. I have noticed less involved parents/kids in general in society…who like to blame others and not take accountability. It’s everywhere. But BVHS is great place if you want it to be!

This school CONDONES bullying and PERMITS bullies to continue to attend this school regardless of their actions towards other students. My child was bullied for 7 months. The bully would seek out my child, follow and instigate the abuse. It would occur in class, at lunch, at recess, even in the bathroom. The bully would corner my child on the blacktop. The bully would push, pull, smack my child among other very aggressive things. The bully would derail my child’s friendships. My child was vocal during every incident and would tell the bully “Stop”, “ Leave me alone”, “ Dont touch me” the bully would respond, “ I dont care”, Im not going to stop, this isnt over”, “ Im gonna use my body not my words.” The bully committed acts of violence towards my child consciously, intentionally and without reason. Multiple teachers and school staff (i.e noon duties, subs, aids) witnessed the incidents my child endured during the time this abuse was occurring. On multiple incidents, other students in my child’s class were also witnesses to the abuse and would run to get staff’s help. They would also relay details of the incidents to the teacher and the principal leaving no gray area that my child was clearly the victim. At drop offs or dismissals, the bully’s parent even had the audacity to smirk at me, head held up high whenever we would cross paths.The parent was fully aware of what was going on and had demonstrated no remorse. The bully is still attending Allen.As a parent I did everything in my power to follow guidelines under law to stop the pattern of intentional harm my child was enduring EVERY DAY by a reckless, despicable student who was verbally, physically and emotionally abusive. I documented every detail of every incident. I would reach out to the principal (Mr. Greenwell) continuously and consistently every time an incident occurred, and was given the same barren response every time. I even requested a group meeting (parent principle district) and was denied it. The abuse persisted without FIRM consequences or ultimatums. I filed a report with school district and received NO RESPONSE. I didnt even receive a courtesy principal meeting as a follow up. Im now moving forward with this in an effective direction. While many parents will read this and be skeptical, the aforementioned is true. As a responsible loving parent, I seek the best for my child. I hope this review aids in the school choice of future parents should they be considering Allen Elementary.
