This school / principal I would never recommend my children missed 4 days of school non consecutive throughout the year and because I didn’t call them in they called the police I have never been embarrassed like that they use Bellevue Police as a scare tactic!! My children are not nor have Ever been wards of the state or truant.

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.
