Carroll Bell Elementary School

This is my first child attending school & truly NOT the best school. Very disappointed that this is the closest school to my area, hadn’t heard anything positive about the school prior to having to let my child attend.Staff could handle situations much better, very FEW staff members/ teachers are actually helpful, many shrug off issues to avoid tending to them. Teachers are in a desperate rush to get rid of students in pick up lines after school conversations are constantly negative about having to deal with the kids, eager to clock out as heard during pick up. Unfortunate in all aspects, could be a much more pleasant learning environment & Overall more helpful to parents when having a concern/question.

This school is amazing. Considering we are in a low income area, the faculty here seems to really care about the kids. Although I don't always agree with some punishment techniques (ie. writing lines) the overall feel of the school is positive. They have some amazing math teachers and a caring and wonderful music/art teacher. My children love it there. I just wish the school could afford more extracurricular programs for the kids.

My nephew is in an ALE class and was getting hit by another student and being sent to the nurses office everyday for 3 weeks ! The Principal is too busy in “meeting” to contact and let us know what was going on and how they are going to fix the situation. We leave messages and don’t get a calls back. This has been going on for 3 weeks !

School is horrible. My son was bullied severely and they looked the other way. When we confronted them they started finding any little thing to get my son in trouble for and constantly called him a liar. They constantly push to have him medicated for the sake of the students and teacher. Deplorable school.
