Bartlett Elementary School

I have always had a great experience at BES. I have 3 children that attend BES and have been in this school for 7 yrs now (starting in prek). The opportunities for parental involvement are great. Children use technology on a regular basis here, starting in Kindergarten! Very pleased!

I think the faculty is wonderful with the students and they truly care; I think this is an exceptional school! However my one and only complaint is there are not many extra activities such as programs, spelling bees, etc.

We love this school. Our children have been safe, well educated and happy. Teachers go above and beyond what is expected and the attitude of all educators and administrators has been great.

My niece has just gotten the TAAS scores for her 10 yr old twins and they were better than they have ever been. The twins have been in this school 1 yr. and have improved. She stated that she believe it was because the grils had more one-on-one with the teachers.

I am a substitute teacher who has found Bartlett Elementary to be a warm and welcoming school. The teachers are very helpful to newcomers. The office staff and plant manager could not be more pleasant and eager to assist. The atmosphere is safe and secure, but fun and friendly toward the children and other adults. Substituting at Bartlett Elementary is better than any other place I have been.

My daughter attended Bartlett Elem in kindergarten. We could not wait to move out of the area just because of the school. Her teacher was wonderful but the school in general was below average. There was no playground and very little recess time for the kids to get their energy out. The over-all staff was very unfriendly and the school had an unwelcoming feel to it. I was very sad for my daughter to have to attend school there.

Our son is in kindergarten at BES, and for the most part, we are pleased with the school.We are already half way through the school year and over half of his class is reading already! The entire staff seems to truly enjoy their roles as educators and support staff. In response to the previous review, there are some holiday parties, which is great if your family only celebrates Christmas. A little bit emphasis on diversity would be a definate improvement at BES. I also feel that the lack of playground is a big detractor to the school. Kids need to get their wiggles out!

I have two children who go to Bartlett Elementary (1st and 5th grade). There are a few complaints I have, namely no playground and only a fifteen minute recess per day. My kids have suffered due to not having an adequate place to climb and play. The school also does not provide opportunities for social interaction. In fact, they expect children to be silent much of the day. With such limited social interaction and physical play, it is very difficult for my kids to focus and pay attention for the seven-hour school day. Also, there are no holiday parties. I feel sad that my kids have had to miss out on all of the things that made elementary school great when my husband and I were little. I hope to get my younger child transfered to a new school next year because I don't feel that BES provides adequate supports.

Bartlett Elementary is a pretty good school overall. I would like to see some improvements like more minority teachers, at least some talk about black history and for the children that learn on a slower pace than others to not be pushed as fast as the ones who grasp it faster. There is time for some extra teaching. In my school days teachers found the time. The school also needs a playground for the children and a few clubs.
