We have very bright kids and their experience at this school was not pleasant. The school didn't meet their academic needs. They were on their own if they needed extra challenges. Teachers can be good or bad, depends on your luck. One of our kids' teacher didn't care about students at all; she just wanted easy job. The school somewhat discriminated against minority. The good thing about this school was parent involvement which made the community good. If your kids are very bright, non-Caucasian and the parents are not close to the school administration, good luck with your adventure.

Our two daughters truly loved their experiences at Beach Elementary. The school is build around a strong core of dedicated and talented educators with detailed knowledge of current pedagogy surrounding literacy. Parent involvement is a key element to the school's success with adult volunteers offering a variety of support at all grade levels. These two elements compensate for a lack of leadership and vision from the current administration. Echoing a comment from another posting, the principal avoids conflict by telling parents what they want to hear. Unfortunately, she failed to follow through on promises on several occasions. However, despite the current principal's shortcomings and inability to articulate a genuine vision beyond test scores, test scores and test scores the staff and families more than make up for her weaknesses. Your children will be in very good hands.
