Bellaire Elementary School

I can't say enough wonderful things about this school. The principal is fantastic. The teachers all truly care about your child and their academic success. There is wonderful parent involvement and we are able to have dances, seasonal functions and field trips. My children have loved it here and it has established a love for learning at a young age. Outstanding experience and highly recommend!

I went to Shreve Island Elementary school. I graduated from there in 2015. I loved it. I enjoyed having 2 weeks off after each 9 weeks because I got to travel or go see my grandmother. I also enjoyed the field trips. I am autistic and have ADHD so I was helped by some special educators with my assignments. Those ladies were very nice. I had fun in enrichment class. Since we had one recess a day, enrichment class felt like a second recess or first, depending on if it came before or after enrichment. I also enjoyed speech therapy. We would do speech and then play games at the end of speech therapy before I went back to class. My favorite grades were first and third grade. I was really good at math in 3rd grade. My math skills went down hill in 4th grade but back up hill when I was a freshman in college. Today I am a junior at Dallas Baptist University studying to be a Christian counselor and I cannot believe it’s now been 10 years since my last year at Shreve Island. Overall, I loved Shreve Island and would recommend it. I tell all my elementary education friends at DBU to teach at Shreve Island if they ever move to Shreveport after college

Our 1st and not ever again school year was unpleasant due to one bad apple. Kelli Wood the front office staff member was unpleasant and rude every time I would entered into the school from start to finish during that school year. She may need to be trained better and differently on how to speak to the adults bringing their children there. The teacher and paraprofessional, speech therapist was great in my child's learning experience. It's just the one bad apple that made others pull their children out of the school because she was disrespectful to the parents. This is not normal in my reviews but I had to be the voice to say something about that one bad apple.

I had to switch my daughter from Central Park and I see a lot of improvement in her education.

likely the worst private school in the area

This will be our 7th year at MSS. They are not just a school, they are our family. I can not imagine my children being anywhere else. The staff makes the school a loving, learning, pleasant environment that my children look forward to attending. I wish I would have had this kind of education growing up!
