I have a child that attends here. I love this school! her classes test grades were above average for their district. You can read how well this school does on the district info page. The teachers act like teachers and do their jobs in making sure every student is as successful as the next. Just keep in mind that it is your job to do the parenting @ home! Thanks Bellview for always striving for the best in your students!

My child goes to this school now and her class has 29 children in it! That is way too many for one teacher. My child has trouble in a few areas and can not get the help she needs. This is the first teacher I have had a problem with in this school though. But because of the lack of suport my daughter gets I think this will be her last year here. Her first two teachers tried to help but there still wasnt enought cause the class sizes are just too big. Other then that this is a good school. All the parents and staff are friendly.

My daughter goes to this school, and is verry happy there. And every teacher she had since start to end I never had a problem with her teacher's. Or anything ealse. But all thoughs years I realized it's all about the parents giving the child saport.

I have lived and worked in this district for many years. My children got a great education in this district. It all comes down to parent support and involvement with your child. The teachers can't do it all. Parents need to raise their own children and not expect the schools to do it for them. For the most part we have caring teachers that are great at what they do. Support staff isn't so bad either.

Excellent School, excellent teachers, Parent involvement is okay but there is always room for improvement there and no tolerance discipline policy is great. Keeps trouble at bay!!

I feel that the Overall Parent Rating is accurate for Bellview. There aren't many extracurricular activities at this elementary school. The teachers are its strongest point. Their involvement with parents and guardians is very good considering the area we are in and the student/teacher ratio.

I have three children in the school and they have all had good teachers. Extracurricular activities could be improved, but the quality of education is more important to me. My youngest has issues with reading, and the teachers have been been supportive and the extra help from the literacy coaches (para pro's)have made a huge impact. They don't get enough credit! Like any school, it seems to be the same parents helping out, but if you approach a parent who doesn't normally attend the pto meetings, they are willing and able to help out at functions.

I also agree that bellview is a wonderful school with caring teachers and a friendly staff. I have had 4 children pass through over the last 10 years. But what i do see is the school is in need of improvement on the meap scores. a 68% is not good enough. We need to figure out how to get that percentage up and keep it up.

I think this is a wonderful school overall. Every teacher my child has had so far has been absolutley fantastic. They genuinely care about the children. I'm hoping this will continue as my child enters the upper level grades. I love how the school puts such a high priority on reading. My daughter loves the AR program. The only problems I had at this school was some teacher shuffling in K and the previous principal. Thankfully the new principal seems much more capable of handling the important job of overseeing our childrens education. The previous principal created much tension among herself and parents, and it took the focus away from the children. I am thankful now this problem has been fixed, and I am generally very satisfied with my children attending this school.
