Bethany Elementary School

We love Bethany! Our daughter started there this year and loves her teacher and all of her classmates. She's learning so much and loves to show us everything she's working on in class. We really like how her progress is communicated to us through the SeeSaw app so we can se her develop skills as the year goes on as well as get an inside look at what's going on in her class on a regular basis. The principle and other faculty at Bethany are amazing and very accommodating to the needs of the students and parents. We are truly blessed to have a school like this close by and look forward to many great years at Bethany Elementary!

We love Bethany - excellent teachers with a diverse student body. I am surprised to read a few of the negative comments. My daughter has attended this school for three years and there are tons of kids out and about in this neighborhood. We have made some dear friends here. My daughter has play dates all of the time. If you don't see kids running the streets, check the park. Also, many kids play inside or swim in their pools. The current principal is very outgoing and cares about the kids.

The teachers work well with children who fit in their box of ideal. If a child doesn't fit the norm, this is not the school for them. The teachers are very sweet, but my daughter doesn't need an extra mother, she needs a teacher. They are too focused on social issues and not enough on learning. My daughter's class was given 8 spelling lists for the entire year this year, but only 6 spelling tests. Her teacher won't questions about a child's progress unless she have a standardized test to back them up and then they blame the curriculum for the short comings. I am removing my child from this school as I feel we have wasted this entire year when she could have been learning something. Yes, I know, one bad apple, but this teacher is the team lead for the grade.

Excellent principal, excellent teachers, friendly staff... there's just nothing bad I can say about this school. We have two kids in Bethany and we are extremely pleased. I can't imagine a school being any better than this.
