Park Layne Elementary School

We are heading into our second year at Bethel Elementary and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff here. I am extremely particular and Bethel Elementary has completely blown me away. I do make it a point to be very active within the school so that I can see firsthand what is going on and how things are being done. I have never once felt as if this school wasn't top-tier. I have seen the staff love these children as if they were their own time and time again. I have been highly impressed with what my daughter has learned and the variety of "specials" that are offered each day. I love that she gets to dabble in numerous different subjects to harvest an early love of a variety of things. I see a lot of previous reviews directly pertain to the admin staff. I should mention in this review that those are older and there is a completely different admin staff than years previous. I have collaborated directly with both of the current principals and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that their number one priority is making sure these children are safe and have a great learning environment and experience. We absolutely love this school and almost put our child in a private school, but decided against it and I am so glad we did!

Very Poor financial responsibility, of witch has impacted parent involvement in my opinion. The new Principal has no respect for parent opinion either.
