Read what parents are saying about T H Bell Junior High Schooli love going to TH Bell jr high school and i like to learn and make friends
Posted by a student on 1/24/2024There are some amazing teachers who are very dedicated in what they do and they try to make students have the best environment possible. There are a few not many that I would consider not good teachers, they are all nice people but they put too much of their private life that students didn't need to know in lessons. There is a lot of favoritism when it comes to certain teachers, many of them cater to sports players, officers, and cheerleaders. The students who have the higher leadership positions (Officers, Student Body Officers, Cheerleaders) tend to be rude and discriminate against others. Many students are rude and it may not be great for people with mental disabilities. Many students get made fun of and bullied by these people. It is a very cliquey school and people tend to stay in there groups. There is a lot of language used from students that is unacceptable but the staff doesn't do anything. The school seems to be falling apart thought. I have witnessed ceiling tiles fall out and lights break and swing down on kids. T.H. Bell has many sports and extracurricular activities to join as well. The school has an activity for just about everyone. Some of the activities include: MESA, FCCLA, FBLA, VEX Robotics, NJHS, German Club, Hope Squad, School Play, Band and Orchestra, and many others.95% of teachers don't assign homework unless you didn't finish work in their class. Even then many of them provide work days in class. They also have a homeroom class dedicated to allowing students to go to other classes to work on homework and assignments they need help on.When it comes to leadership there are lessons on it but its only like once a month or so and most people don't implement it. Most of the time people get leadership experience by joining clubs. The school also doesn't teach its values well. Overall T.H. Bell is a great school with tons of opportunities. Every student is issued a Chromebook to keep for the year to do homework and assignments on. The students bring the school down very much and its hard for teachers to keep them in check. There are also very large classes which makes it hard to keep all students under control. It is a very good school if you want to connect 1 on 1 with your teachers and have a personalized experience. On the negative side many kids are racist and bully and haze kids. I have heard the staff talk about each other behind their backs causing a negative environment on the school.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePlease do not send your child to this school if they are under the age of 5. The school has a major problem with aggressive and abusive behavior issues with children from 2 to 5 years old. There is not enough staff to handle these issues and administration just tells staff to redirect or remove them from the area. The staff is told not to punish or hold the offending child accountable just redirect. The parents are not told about the behavioral issues or staff is told to downplay the issues. The children are out of control. Bullying is ignored and is constant in these class rooms. The administration staff ignores these issues and just advises the staff to gently ask the children to be kind to each other. There is no punishment or time out ..just constant screaming..yelling..biting.. scratching and physical violence ..just try and walk the halls..Parent Review2y ago - New Discovery Montessori School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis private pre-school is amazing. We looked into many pre-schools before picking one. New Discovery Montessori was an easy choice. The self-guided Montessori method really helps to teach these little ones independence and a love of learning.Parent Review1y ago - Providence Montessori Academy

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is incredible. We moved from CA for my son to specifically attend this school. We couldn't be happier. The school is aesthetically appealing, clean, high ceilings, lots of natural light/windows & subdued colors. They really work hard to make the environment soothing for the children. On any given day you will hear soothing music playing, smell essential oils being defused. The little ones are taught about grace, courtesy, social skills, conflict resolution, self help skills/autonomy, self soothing, etc. They really teach to the whole child. They don't put math/science/reading above any other life skills, which is huge. Many days they have "gratitude circle, meditation circle, or massage circle," where they get to practice these skills. The stimuli/materials available also make learning fun. They are made from natural materials so you don't need to worry about what is off gassing/leaching around your child. And, they are so visually appealing, little hands want to reach for them. These Montessori materials make abstract concepts become concrete & fun to master. The staff members know the children intimately, due to the small size of the school. From admin to assistants the adults are patient, enthusiastic & energetic with the children. We love the school. Mrs. Sam, my son's teacher is a rock star. She is equal parts strict and spunky. In her calm/quiet way she teaches children about boundaries, and yet she is so full of pizzazz. Mrs. Claudia has compassion & grace for days. Mrs. Lisa (front desk) always has a smile & wonderful recommendations/solutions. Ms. Maddie is by far the most compassionate, attuned & in touch principal I have ever met. Ms. Z will patiently and enthusiastically answer your little ones 391 questions! Ms. Isa will cut you grace when your little human makes a less than stellar choice, if she got a penny for every time she said, "That's okay, don't worry," she would be in the top 1%. I am an educator myself & have worked in many different districts, this school is truly a gem. We are so blessed to have found it. The children are truly treated like family, loved on, safe, nurtured & can therefor thrive.Parent Review1y ago - Providence Montessori
