Bel Air Elementary School

A teacher put there hands on my student and they suspended her cause she was about to throw up and ran out the classroom and told her the next day to get out. I am so done with this school don’t bring your child here if they wanna be bullied harassed threatened touched and etc worst school in Minnesota award goes to highland i have no words

this school is really nice I’ve been here for so long and Seeing these rates is sad because the school is so nice the playground is really big the education is really good there and just make sure that your friends with people that don’t make drama but the lunch are really good too and it’s 2 floors and a big school the music and art and pe teachers are really nice if you ever need help they would help you with good advice.

Wilshire Park Elementary and the St. Anthony–New Brighton School District have been a huge disappointment. The principal is rarely present, and most kids don’t even know who she is. Communication is poor, with concerns ignored, and issues are often blamed on teachers rather than addressed by administration. The district’s “Effective Instruction” program has been a failure, creating confusion and stifling teachers. It’s a good idea in theory but the implementation has been a disaster. Behavioral issues go unchecked, with disruptive students receiving no consequences, leaving well-behaved students to suffer in chaotic classrooms. The entire district is in decline, with dropping academic performance, high teacher turnover, and families leaving for better options. We are seriously considering pulling our child from the school. Wilshire Park no longer provides a safe, supportive, or effective learning environment—I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for both students and educators.

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE NOT RICH OR WHITE. As a former student, the racism and small sexism here is CRAZY. You could be called a slave in front of the teachers and the student would get trouble for interrupting class or they'd just sit there and smile (real story). Overall people here are rude. For learning, they didn't offer proper support and often taught way to quick to catch up with. School fights weren't treated properly if they occurred. If you did report anything to the teachers or principal, a measly in school suspension would happen and your parents wouldn't be informed. Teachers are lazy, kids are bullies, don't go here.
