I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Betz Elementary School. My first grader had a horrifying introduction to the school environment, facing extreme behavioral issues from other students right off the bat. In his first week, he was bitten and spat on, and when I brought this to the staff's attention, their response was dismissive—merely stating, "We have a lot of children with bad behavior." This lack of accountability is unacceptable.To make matters worse, my child picked up inappropriate behavior from his peers, including flipping people off and using curse words. Again, the staff did nothing to address this concerning influence.My fourth grader faced a different but equally distressing situation. He was repeatedly told he could not go to the bathroom, which resulted in an accident. Instead of offering support or compassion, the staff ignored his needs, leaving him to walk around in discomfort for the rest of the day.Having grown up in Bellevue, I remember a vastly different school environment, one that actually prioritized education and student well-being. The current state of the school district is alarming; test scores have plummeted, and it feels like the Bellevue Public School Board is failing to protect and educate the children they are responsible for.I cannot recommend Betz Elementary School based on our experience. It’s clear that significant changes are needed to address the serious issues affecting the students.

When I went I loved it, good teachers, good principle and it was over all excellent. Right now, there fixes to be made within school safety and some teachers need to be re-taught on how to handle situations with children other then that still a good elementary school

I’m from England and Elementary aka primary school is different.Wake Robin is safe- set back from the road, and a good location.Teachers work to individualize your children’s academic journey while maintaining social structure as a whole. The principal is out front of the school at car line every morning and will greet your kids. In my experience she follows policy very closely, but I have not had to meet with her on anything.The school fosters family interaction through the pta, sports day, class parties, and every support teacher is super nice and welcoming.Love the community here.
