Betsy Ross Arts Magnet School

My daughter was accepted through the lottery program. I was so thrilled. I went to the Open House and we were filling out entry application before we even left the school that evening. It has exceeded my expectations! Arts Coordinator and Principal are awesome! Did I mention how much my daughter loves going to school?? She does!! What a great feeling!

We love the school. It has a very challenging, demanding curriculumn combined with the love of the arts.

Betsy Ross is extremely well run by professional people who car about their students. It offers students a fabulous alternative to traditional schools. I also love ECA, but they are not listed.

As a student at Besty Ross I feel compelled to comment on the oldest review which states that Besty Ross has an awful student body. There are not fights in the hallway everyday, in fact, there was only one that I knew of this year! Our principal has zero tolerence for violence and bullying etc. as does our vice principal and artistical coordinator. I hate to break it to you, but I think your son was lying to you. Betsy Ross is a wonderful school, and if I had to attend it for the rest of my school life (not that I would have to, I'm a straight A TAG honor student), I most definitely would.

The Principal, Mrs. Moore, is the best a school could have! Ms. Nikki, the dance instructor, is also the best dance teacher a child could have; not to mention all of the other teachers! Each one takes an interest in each & every child! I am sooo glad that I took my daughter out of the Milford School System and put her in BRAMS when entering the 5th grade. Too bad she's high school-bound in June!! Where she will also be in the New Haven Magnet system- THE BEST!!! J.C. Milford, CT

My daughter is in 7th grade at BRAMS and she loves it. She struggled in the West Haven public school and disliked school because of the daily struggle. Now she loves and it looks forward to school. Smaller classroom was what she needed. Her grades are the best they ever been. Not sure what the parent that wrote about fights and violence at this school and did not sign name, was talking about. Children are kept busy and monitered closely. School has camera to monitor. Mrs Moore does not allow any bullying or violence. The Artedemics at BRAMS are the best.

This is my son's 2nd year at BRAMS and I have had really no complaints. He is very happy there and he really enjoys his arts classes. What a wonderful way to keep a child interested in school and help them grow their minds through creative thinking. They call it artedemics at BRAMS. The principal has a very good handle on things there and the director of the arts programs has really looked out for our son.

I love BRAMS. What a perfect fit for my daughter. She has always been top of her class but easily distacted because the work gets to easy or she finishes quickly, now she is occupied constantly. Her teacher & principal are terrific. Mrs. Moore the principal is a great leader with the interest of the children in mind at all times. I am so glad that I choose BRAMS as her school. We can't see her growing like this any where else.

As a student who attended Betsy Ross all four years, it deffinitly is a school that brings kids who are usually shy and takes them out of their shell. The extracurricular activites are fanatastic and the thing about Betsy Ross is that we don't stay to our 'majors'. Sure, we are very commited to our music, dance, and such, but Betsy Ross allows us to do other classes, three times a week. Betsy Ross's fundrasiers are done by parents of st
