This was the best school i EVER went to! And i hope it never closes, especially just because there are not many children that go there The teachers are the best i have ever had, and i have had over four schools since kindergarden. the teachers are kind, understanding, and extremely smart. I hope that the school has opertunties to better itself, with the number of children, because the school has to much potentail and to close it down would be a discrase. This school would grow, and grow,a nd grow if only given the chance. To see the school up and running would not be a burdan, it would be a blessing.
I really liked going to this school. Though this was the only school I went to for 9 years and I don't really have other school to compare to it, other than my high school, I think that it was really good. The teachers always gave me special help when I needed it, and let me do my own thing when they knew I could. Though I self-taught myself a lot, it was what I wanted, many other students in my class could not self-teach themselves so they took part in more class discussions. I think it is a really good school, and though the principal is kinda annoying, I'm glad I went.
My two children transfered here last year. They have both loved it. The school is small, so the kids get lots of individual attention. My son is very bright, always bored, and usually getting poor grades because of it. Beech Hill School enrolled him in the gifted and tallented program and kept him engaged. His grades were good for the first time in a long time. My daughter is doing well also.
U can't speak the truth on here, but my one star should show my feelings. It is time to get all the people with my feelings together!!! Stop this schooling from having the last word!!!Serena Daigle
This is the best school that i have ever been to. All of my teachers can afford to talk to me one on one so that I can understand things better.
This school community does a great job of keeping parents up-to-date with important issues and, well, when you compare test scores, it's obvious that your student is getting a good education.
Good School. Only gripe is too much homework, but every student says that.
Good school, but poor discapline . They make the child standout by disciplining them in front of the other children in the classroom instead of doing it between the child and theteacher in private. Thus getting them labeled as troubled children. Labels are for cans and bottles not children
This is a great school, the principle is the best, but the teachers are kind, great with the students and helpful!!!
I have a very bright child and am very dismayed that this school does nothing for GT until 4rth grade! By then many of these children have become bored and lost interest. If she had dyslexia they would not let if go that long before offering additional support. Why are the bright children not challenged! I am very disappointed in this schools lack of response to children who are ahead of the curve. If your move to this area stay on top of the school and the teachers. Not to say that there arn't a couple of excellent teachers but there are some problems as well. But, my oldest slipped through the cracks until 4rth grade and my yourgest is being left to self teach because she is so far ahead.
