Posted by a parent on 3/27/2025I feel this is one of the worst experiences with Howard County school system. My son went here from 4th to 5th grade and by 5th grade I couldn’t get away fast enough. There are palpable biases present when dealing with the receptionist to the Special Education Teacher for students of color as well a
Posted by a parent on 5/19/2023My son who has level 2 Autism has thrived since he began at Bellows Spring. We came from Prince Georges County, MD where my son was placed in Special Education Classes throughout the entire day.

Posted by a parent on 5/18/2022I’ve had children at Bellows for a total of 13 years and feel like it may be the best elementary school in Howard County.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTeacher can be kinda mean and sometimes talk way to much about something extremely random. Most of the teachers here don't understand that some students have ADHD and that the students are children, not fully grown adults. The school doesn't really support are mental health either, we have a guidance councilor but with how some teacher act its very hard to approach them and ask for help. They school barely has "Special Education." They have tutoring and some help for students with dyslexia and ADHD but if you have anything thats more severe they cant do anything. I would barely call it "Special Education" it more like learning help. This is coming from a student at this school.Student Review1y ago - Celebration Christian Academy
