Community Reviews
The Principal has been very receptive and always available to discuss our concerns. I visit the school at different times of the day throughout the year and I see his presence in the lunch room on the yard and in the school as a strong and positive influence on the school , it's students and the tea
Posted by a parent on 7/26/2018Zero stars. Disgusting leadership. Shame on the administrators to the top of the district, including the school board, for letting this school fall under such poor leadership.
Posted by a parent on 6/15/2018I have two children at BAM, both of whom have had great teachers in every grade so far. One of my kids was experiencing emotional troubles and the school worked with us to come up with a great plan to address the problem, and then continued to follow up each year, in order to tailor the plan to fit
Posted by a parent on 2/26/2018Its our first year at the school and I have mixed feelings. I love my daughter's teacher and the afterschool folks. I appreciate the liasons that the school has with the University. However, I feel the PTA and afterschool co-ordinator are not as open to parents suggestions as one would like in a sch

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is in his second year at this school. Because his birthday falls later in the year, he is repeating one more year of Pre-K 2, which means some of the themes are repeated (they have 5-6 different themes each year for different age group). What pleasantly surprised me is that even though the themes are the same, most of the content is updated each year. This means he is still learning new knowledge and participating in new activities.I also truly appreciate the teachers’ sense of responsibility, not only in academics, but also in caring for the children’s daily lives. Every day when I pick him up, he is happy and often doesn’t want to leave, which says a lot about his experience at school. The teachers are also very communicative and proactively share updates about his day. Both the lead teachers and assistant teachers know each child very well, which gives me great peace of mind.We feel very reassured and grateful.Parent Review3w ago
