Bates Elementary School

My sons first year at Bates was last year. Before he was at Forrest Elementary in Riverview. To be totally honest if feel the school has the right atmosphere but I really dont think it gave my child any challenges. What I mean by that it did go toward the year curriculum and achieved everything that school promised. Just no over achieving for the kids. Teachers are great and super nice.

The children that I know who currently attend Bates have polite manners, and speak eloquently. I believe this is due to good teachers and parents.

The children receive a well rounded education including participation in charity, recycling, and community responsibility. The PTO supports the staff and children throughout the year!

My Granddaughter goes there and the teachers she has is just wonderful. As I visited the school Teachers, Principle, All great you with a smile. And my Granddaughters grades are outstanding. Good teaching.

I love Bates because they have the best faculty around. I know when I send my child to school they are well taken care of. The secretary takes care of all the medical problems that my child has, just like I would. On top of all that, they are getting a great education. Top notch school. Thanks you Bates staff for a job well done!

I can't imagine a better foundation for my children education than the one Bate's Elementary gave them. Bate's is not just a school...it's a family.
