Beech Hill Elementary School

My experience with this school has been nothing but amazing. My child went to a couple of other schools since kindergarten but BHES is by far the best.

We have been at Beech Hill for 6 years. My kids have grown academically by leaps and bounds! Perhaps more importantly, they feel loved, supported and appreciated for who they are. Beech Hill is a family.

Not favorably. If you are looking for a school that acknowledges the accomplishments quarterly, this us not the school. They also do not make many changes to their events. They rely on old school achievements instead of changing. The academic scores are high, but there is a lot of pressure to make it happen. If you're a parent who doesn't have the time to continually check the folders & gas a student who needs reminding. It can be very tiring. Communication between instructors & parents vary depending on the teacher. My child never felt like there was someone in the staff that they could confide in. My child pushed through obstacles & remained successful academically, but is over the moon to no longer have to attend this facility.

Our 2 years at this school have been hell! I did my research before moving from Florida and this school was suppose to be the BEST! These grades are fudged based on the GATE kids and that's what this school cares about because that's one of the ways this school keeps funded, while my high achieving A/B child gets the teachers that are young and don't really care. I'm a very hand's on parent that's had many conferences with the teachers and the principal Mrs. Harris, nothing changed and nothing was fixed... a bunch of lip service! Private school here we come for next year. So sad cause I'm such an advocate for public schools but in South Carolina I'm finding out private is the way you've got to go.
