So far there haven't been any issues with the school. This is our first year here and we've been very happy. My kids have adjusted well and the other Bethune parents have been very friendly to us newcomers. In regards to the parking situation if you get there early you won't have an issue. I don't know what parents expect, if you're running late then yes you will be aggravated and stressed over the parking because you got there too late and now can't find any.
So far it's been a very good school and I like the fact that it's a K through 8 school where I can keep all my kids together for a couple of more years. Also if you have a young or maybe small 6th 7th or 8th grader that you feel is not quite ready to go to a big Middle School this is a great alternative. My middle school child receives homework but I don't think he is bombarded with it the way he would probably be in a traditional Middle School setting. Bethune is much smaller and teachers really get to know your child.
So glad we're no longer at Bethune. It is untrue that this school is the 'highest scoring school in Paradise Hills' or that it's culturally diverse. Please check the school scores and demographics. It is entirely Filipino, 80% or so. The admin staff was very unprofessional. There's an African American school clerk there who is beyond rude, older lady. Very snippy, bad demeanor. I would always see her yelling at the kids - a lot! The day I went to enroll my 6 year old she asked me to not let my 4 year old touch the children's books & magazines in the waiting area. Are you kidding me, why are they out here for, for people to look at right? I also asked for a tour of the school and that lady said no, that I needed to do that 'another day'. Very lazy clerks. The parking situation was indeed a huge mess. Parents were nice, but the school seemed very unorganized. If you're expecting a warm fuzzy feeling at Bethune, you're not going to get it there.
My daughter school in this school.I like this school the teachers are great and they're really concerns about all students. I am glad my daughter school here.
