I have been to so many schools in my time (I’m a military kid I’ve been to eight) and this is genuinely the best school I have ever been to. There is absolutely no bullying at this school, very little and if there is it is snuffed out immediately. The teachers all care about their students and the s
Posted by a student on 6/3/2024Wonderful school, would recommend to anyone who’s looking.
Posted by a parent on 8/15/2022Our child is in the lower elementary level at Bridges so our experience is in the K-5 range, for what it's worth. I'd put BPS squarely in the average range for local schools. Take away the shiny new campus and it's the same experience we've had with the traditional public schools in Beaufort County.
Posted by a parent on 7/14/2022they dont treat kids right and they abuse power and kick out kids just for asking a question
Posted by a parent on 9/28/2021This school has a long way to go. My son was called the n-word in front of teachers and nothing happened, threatened, and his state testing scores dropped because of the terrible teachers and engagement. This school looks pretty and seems great on the outside, but has a toxic culture, especially for

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe are a military family and our kids have attended several schools. BES is really a hidden gem. I'm not really sure I understand all the negativity in these (mostly older) posts but I think a refresh is needed in the ratings. BES has the AMES (gifted and talented) program for the area and it is outstanding with great teachers, low student to teacher to ratio (about 10:1), and very competitive programs. It is true that there are many low-income families that attend this school and those kids have some extra challenges to deal with I'm sure, but the school makes every effort to address these concerns through a caring faculty and Government grants for food and uniforms. My kids were even issued high quality laptops and have been immersed in strong academics. I really think the school's ranking by this website should be reconsidered. I am glad my kids have attended BES.Parent Review6y ago - Mossy Oaks Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have two children at this school and I love it! We moved to this neighborhood just so my children could attend this school. There are always two people to help unload the kids in the morning and help open/shut car doors. Everyone is so friendly and the children love it as well! Can't say enough about how much we love this school!Parent Review12y ago - Coosa Elementary School

The teachers here are wonderful and make the kids feel safe and welcomed. Each teacher my daughter had was amazing and she learned so much well being here, we are sad to be leaving this wonderful school. Keep up the awesome job coosa elementary!!Parent Review3y ago - St. Peters Catholic School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageVery poor education. Limited resources. Poor classroom management skills. Lacking discipline. Doesn’t help push students academically and doesn’t hold children accountable. Principal has a lot of grandchildren that go to this school and causes a lot of trouble for other children. There’s a lot of, “do you know who my grandma is?” And, “my mom works here, I’m going to tell on you.” Being a VERY small school, you can’t escape the tension. Wouldn’t recommend this school.Parent Review4mo ago - Beaufort Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSubpar. This school clearly allows any child in. They do not enforce the written dress code. 80% of the teachers are under 25 and have little to no experience. Class sizes are HuGe. And parent concerns are not recognized.Parent Review6y ago - Ec Montessori & Grade School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a former student of this school that had left in the year 2022 and any parent who wants their child to be send to this school, please, do not. I was bullied by multiple kids and even when I was bullied in front of the teacher, the teacher did not do anything. Even after I had told my parents, these kids still did it in front of the teacher and no one did anything. Extremely disappointed of this school, I can’t believe it’s even considered a Christian school.Other Review3mo ago
