Read what parents are saying about Bluff City Elementary School

I enjoy a lot of teachers at this school but there are almost an equal number of teachers that should have picked a different career. The principals I feel like genuinely try to keep parents in the loop so that’s good. That being said this is not a school that has field trips or engaging afterschool

From the bulling teachers to the kids they let bully kids. The school is horrible they don't look at the kids medical records that they require you to bring in. They treat students based on your income. The principal isn't much better she never told my daughter or I that she was sorry her father pas

As a former student, I recconmend your child comes here. The sanitary was great!! I loved every teacher, and as an intelligent student, the teachers help all the children learn. The teachers are quite caring and understanding. The worst grade is probably 3rd. Everything is well kept, and the learnin

My daughter just started kindergarten this year and she has a new teacher that just moved to our area. She loves her school and teacher and seems to be doing very well so far. She is a car rider and every day when I drop her off and pick her up the faculty is so nice to us and friendly!

Someone blasted the booster program. It seems funny that they do not realize that parents like him/her are the reason booster clubs struggle. QUIT criticizing and SHOW UP to run the concession stands, clean up, organize, sit at gates, donate money, donate time, ......... The list goes on and on, yet

My kids attended BCMS for 4 years. My oldest son was a victim of bullying and the schools and teachers did not do anything to help him. He was always called names and made fun of and teachers ignored it. His classmates stole from him, damaged his personal items and schools were always making up excuses to cover up the negligence on their end. And when my son did speak up to the bullies he was written up for using a bad language. They had too much favoritism and the schools does not provide lockers. Kids have to carry their books and coats from class to class. The principal never smiles, he does not have any leadership skills or any compassion to help the kids in need. My son was always too scared to share his feelings with any of the staff after it was overlooked so many times. He just learned to become strong and ignore. We finally moved and I am so glad my kids are out of this school. I do not recommend.
