Bell Shoals Academy

Enroll your kids to this school if you don’t value the safety of your child. Hands down the worst school when it comes to safety and proper discipline. My son has been threatened to be shot at the bus stop by another student. The school claimed they “followed protocol” by deeming the threat to not be serious enough for action. The kid who made the threat continues to ride the bus because as quoted by the school “they can’t control safety at the bus stops”. My son was then assaulted on the bus by a student who has been identified before for punching other students. Again the school decided to do a “write up” as their disciplinary action and left it at that. No suspension or parent contact. Oh which brings up the point that the school told us they don’t contact parents about punishments. This school is negligent when it comes to holding violent students accountable.

My son started there in 3 rd grade. Honestly I wasn’t impressed in the beginning. But I had to change my mind really quickly. His 3 rd grade teacher team have been absolutely incredible. . We decide to keep him at Kingswood and that was the best decision we made. If you are a parent who likes to be part of your child’s school go to Kingswood. There was always communication between the teacher and us as parents. . There so many wonderful teachers there. Kingswood was a blessing for my child’s education. One of the best elementary school experiences we ever had.

my son is autism and there is iep plan for him.. I gave iep paperworks to that school before enrolled him in... that school is little bit out of our way because it is one of few schools that handles special classes... first two weeks I brought him to that school.. he started crying hard.. he didntlike that school.. I kept getting negative comments in agenda book from one of teachers.. I kept remind her that he is autism and it requiresa lot of patience especially with autism kid... one of morning when I dropped him off.. one of teacher handled him poor by pulled up hisarms to lift him.. that is big no... I made her to hold him as like he is baby.. his mind is like baby ., they know better.. last day before wewithdrawal him from that horrible school.. I picked him up after school.. his clothes soaked with pee all over and his diaper was super full.they didn't change his diaper for hours... they are not trained properly handling autism kids..I don't recommend this school to anyonewith autism kids. I hope they get properly training overall

My 4th grader developed severe social anxiety after being bullied and ignored by the principal in this school by a child who regularly bullies others. Her and a group of girls made and shared a RAP DISS track about my daughter mocking her, her family, and her body. If your unlucky enough to be at this school, make sure you send your kid in in tattered cloths ready to fight because bullies will be given 100 chances and this is where your child will learn to fight for their self or isolate.

If you have a special needs student they don't know how to deal with them and claim they do but they really don't and will call you up very rudely to get your child and talk to you like trash basically, they have autism or ADHD do not take them here , obviously something going on there because she said thank you for picking her up from there and my child usually loves school but she over here thanking me for getting her out of there.
