Learning is student centered. Technology is used to enhance learning and labs offer hands on experience.

I have always found the faculty and staff of B-L Elementary to be a caring, dedicated group of professionals. I love the small class sizes and individualized instruction that my children received there.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 South Carolina used the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in writing, English/Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science. The PASS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of South Carolina. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
