Bell Shoals Baptist 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 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.

Bullying situation is horrible. Admin won't do anything about it and will try to turn everything against you. The school do not promove respect and good environment between kids, so its a beautiful school with a terrible administration and a toxic environment.
