Administration is lacking in their ability to properly manage this school.Teachers that I have spoke with, feel a lack of support from administration. Many concerns by parents are that their children don't feel excited to learn or even want to go to school. Rude non-supportive administration. I took

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat school with caring administration. Mr.Douglas was very good in relating to children that come from inner city, and the challeges they face. The present administration seems to lack experience and struggle with interpersonal relationships and building teacher moral.I am very disapointed in the new administrator that started this year.Teacher Review7mo ago - Beardsley School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI highly recommend this school the cafeteria ladies are amazing and they make yummy meals and there pasta is SOOOOOOOO GOOD The teachers are amazing a big scary thing happened before (can't say bc of privacy) the principal I love her! A great smile on her face 24/7 even when she comes in sick she still smiling my favorite teacher is ms Waite she might be a little mean but she's just trying to help us with a bright future but I love all the teachers to the nurse doesn't do anything most of the time unless there's a sub nurse and plus if there's a bad thing on the wall they will get the kid who did it got called home and then they wipe the words down I love this school 1000/1000 that's how good it is and we having lit partys in after school a great and amazing school GET THE SCHOOL ITS AMAZINGStudent Review2y ago - Waltersville School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageProfessionalism is lacking. Teachers sadly are not interested in parents who want to get involved. Other schools sent home monthly newsletters. At another Bridgeport School, teachers gave out their phone numbers or called back when I left a message at the office. My daughter as well as my nephew were excited to go to school when they were in K-3rd. grade. In 4th as well as 5th I found the teachers very cruel in a way. My daughter often would cry and tell me she wanted to stay home.She was an A student before entering 4th gradeParent Review7mo ago - Paul Laurence Dunbar School
