Very inconsistent their are a couple of excellent teachers but not nearly enough. The nurse will make your sick child where a mask they have vomited in. The nurse also is known for making false DHS reports. They change their special need therapist every year my youngest has been pushed through the g
Posted by a parent on 8/3/2023I think Beard is excellent! Both my kids go there and have really enjoyed it. They have learned so much and without all the pressure and mountains of homework I hear that other parents' kids have at their school. The teachers are caring and the principal is first class! The school is small and every
Posted by a parent on 1/8/2015I have two children that attend Beard Elementary. I have seen a huge change in my oldest child. His personality has flourished and self esteem has grown immensely because the Leader in Me program has encouraged him to share his talents and to be proud of who he is. It does not try to mold him into o
Posted by a parent on 3/22/2014Beard principal is too focused on Covey s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and maintaining Beard s status as a Lighthouse School to be able to devote supervision to those teachers who need it due to their inability to teach children. The kindergarten teachers here are EXCELLENT. However, the
Posted by a parent on 1/10/2014Beard is an excellent school. The school incorporates "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" into their daily curriculum. Kids know these habits and use them daily both at home and in the school. The students know what is expected and know that those expectations will help them have a successful

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePlease take note that this school had good reviews prior to the change in the head of school around 2015. It was a great community for many many years before then. After that change everything changed. “The Montessori school of Fort Smith is over crowded, staff is under trained and overwhelmed. The school is not accredited by any Montessori society nor regulated by any educational entity. Administration is careless, money driven and unresponsive. This school has gone from a community of caring people, to an exclusive club for the wealthy. Sad.”“05/09/2016 There is money being donated without proper IRS documentation, fundraiser prizes are not distributed as advertised, monies raised for one thing then are being allocated elsewhere, and the staff are required to sign non-disclosure agreements regarding everything, including payroll information. This organization has not filed anything with the State of Arkansas since incorporation in 1989, not even to update the current mailing address. The members of the board are unknown to the public, as are the dates, times and locations of their meetings, so getting to attend one is impossible. The chief executive listed is the gatekeeper for all, including the agendas for the meetings. Any information relating to this 501(c)(3) that are supposed to be made FREELY available by law to the public is not so available, even from the state of incorporation and operation.”Michelle2267 via greatnonprofits.orgOther Review2y ago - Harvest Time Christian
