It is extremely hard to communicate with teachers. My kid has been at this school for 5 years and over the 5 yrs only 2 teachers have communicated properly & that is the 4th/5th grade teachers Mrs.Williams & Mrs.Lewis. Also I can honestly say the principal Mr.Baily is very supportive of parents, stu

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers here are very disrespectful and sometimes even put there hands on the kids. One day a teacher pulled a students chair and made them fall out, rarely get homework, way to many breaks for unnecessary reason, they have a therapist but they don't keep up with weekly schedule and forget about it. Don't bring your kids here, just send them to Bates or anywhere else. Teachers even curse at students.Student Review3mo ago - Bagley Elementary School
