My son graduated in 2018 with college credits. He loved his teachers and is doing well in college. I continue to have a deep loved and passion for BDS and always will.
Posted by a principal on 7/22/2019Dr. Patrylo is a leader whose skills are superseded only by her grace and charm.
Posted by a community member on 7/14/2016We've been at BDS going on 4 years now. While there has been a rocky first few years with poor leadership, budget issues and a host of other issues that needed tending, a new Principal came on board with the 14/15 school year, and really began to turn the ship around. Dr. Patrylo immediately address

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience with this school was horrible. My son (lower elementary) loved being able to go to school to learn everyday, but he hated being bullied by a child twice his size in the process. There is a lack of communication between the teachers in regard to bullying that is taking place in different classrooms. If you are having an issue with something that happened in a class other than your child's homeroom class, 9 times out of 10 the homeroom teacher doesn't know about it because the other teacher didn't mention it. The learning environment was about as average as any other public school. It can be very busy at times and a bit overwhelming for a child if they're not use to making decisions for themselves about what activities to do next. I don't understand how they claim to be a school that is based on allowing children the ability to move around freely, but then the teacher complains if your child moves around more than other children. As far as bully is concerned, the students are able to get away with bullying because the principal doesn't have a clue about what is going on. Then when an issue is brought to her attention nothing is done about the matter either way. When an issue of one child doing something to another child is brought to the attention of the teachers they hold the children accountable by talking to them about how they could have handled a situation differently and what they should do in the future instead of what was done this time. They are great with communicating with parents about events such as fundraising, changes to the calendar, and other activities. In my opinion, if you're child gets accepted into a different charter school definitely choose that one.Parent Review3y ago - Community Initiatives Academy
