Bearden Elementary School

This is a decent not great school until you have problem and then you are ignored or told all is fine and to go away. we have also been given misinformation by staff multiple times. The glowing reviews are no doubt by the PTA type parents because that is what runs this school. My child"s education is sub par at best .There has not been any teacher contact whatsoever concerning areas that my child may have a weakness in.Bottom line there are much better schools for child to be in.

Small, diverse, wonderful parental involvement, great teachers, and an atmosphere of joy in learning. Best elem school in Knoxville!

The teachers are either under qualified or incompetent. The school itself is infested by cockroaches. And the quality of the school goes down yearly. My son once enjoyed this school but due to a lack of cooperation with the school had been bullied with no one to turn to. His test grades went from A's and B's to F's. To top it off only one of his teachers actually taught. One of which were fired for their lack of work. This school doesn't deserve an 8.

The parental involvement at this school is outstanding. A true community school. Walk your child in and before you know it you feel like family. Teachers, office staff, custodial staff, are all top notch. You would be hard pressed to find a better, more dedicated principal than Mrs. Dunlap.
