Mission Bell Elementary School

This school seems to have no communication with each other or the parents. They dont stick to their own rules and I feel that they make decisions to benefit themselves and not their students. If I would share my story you would understand my feelings but until I make my phone calls I feel it would be best not too. The teachers are great they care about their students and their feelings mrs. Garcia is wonderful if only her peers learned from her people skills. The office staff sime are very rude my daughter is traumatized when she sees this one staff makes me wonder........ I just feel that the staff in the office should be more considerate on how they speak to parents and should be talked to about the way they operate in the office be consistent. If possible I would move my daughter to another school so hopefully we move soon.I would of given the school a zero but the teachers are great thats about the only positive this school has. Thanks and god bless

Mission Bell Elementary is a corner stone to it's communtiy because the teachers and staff all provide amazing services and resources to it's community. I LOVE MISSION BELL!

I love this school! Both of my children attended this school from preschool through sixth grade. They were both at the top of their class and continue to excel in their current grade levels. Not only did my children learn academically but they were also taught the Pillars of Character, which promoted and enhanced what they were being taught at home. They participated in extra-curricular activities such as band, theater, dance, and student council. The atmosphere at this school is very family-like and peaceful. The teachers are caring and focused on the success of their students. The principal greets parents and students most mornings at the front of the school as they arrive. I have seen him at recess playing sports and games with the students. He seems to know them ALL by name! I am not surprised that this is an 800+ school.

I really do not care for the curricular set up for this school, I feel that they are not up to speed with the teaching skills of other districts. Also, the school focuses mainly on programs geared to teach the English language to either the students or to their parents. Why not have afterschool programs that all the students can take advantage of? I feel my children are not being challeneged and are getting away with being top of there grade level classes due to the easiness of the lession plans, I know my children are smart but I also kno when it's just to easy for them. I disscussed this w/there teachers and they said there was no problem and I should be happy my children are doing so well. (this is BS)!
