Port Dickinson Elementary School

My child attends this school and we have had nothing but positive experiences with the staff. They have been very invested in my son's education and have worked with him to get an education that matches his level of understanding in each subject. Teachers are communicative and helpful with answering questions. The principal has always been responsive to questions in a timely and polite fashion.

Calvin Coolidge is An amazing school! I have an adult daughter who went to the school as a Child.A son who is now in high school who went to the school and now another child who is attending this school.I would recommend this school !

Roosevelt offers a safe, warm caring environment for all children! High student attendance and low discipline infractions make this a wonderful city school!

As a former substitute and current teacher (of 5+ years- not in BCSD) I can truly say the lack of leadership and disrespect from the principal was unimaginable. I had items locked in the teachers lounge stolen by students and her lack of empathy was unprofessional. I hope they have placed someone new in the position. Great students and some great teachers. Needs better leadetship and resources.

I am a current BHS sophomore. I’ve dealt with multiple incidents where school staff did not intervene. Recently I talked to my school social worker about how I’ve been dealing with a student calling me slurs (one used towards gay people) along with telling me to end my own life (I have a string of mental health issues) and my school social worker did not do anything to tell admin or help me. The situation has snowballed to now me getting kicked out of the school musical (because someone lied saying how I missed rehearsals on purpose when i just get sick a lot) and being harassed by a senior via Snapchat. I feel like I can not adequately speak up to admin about how I’m treated by my peers due to what I see as lack of care in the school. I don’t feel safe there, I don’t feel welcome. There has been so many threats at the school, people vape, smoke weed and one time someone brought in a knife. In addition there’s also so many fights. The bathroom (a common human function, and a NEED for survival) are locked off with a gate and a bathroom monitor because a few years ago someone set the bathroom ablaze. Human needs should not be impossible to access. In addition the school nurses are also rude and don’t seem like they actually wanna help kids (if you don’t wanna work around kids DONT WORK AT A SCHOOL!) Overall my 2 years at BHS has been very unpleasant and traumatic. I’ve been in the BCSD for 11 years, I endured a lot of trauma from my 11 years in the BCSD. From a student, please don’t send your kiddo here.
