Posted April 24, 2010

It was my school as a child and it was a wonderful school with very good teachers.


Posted March 12, 2008

Both of my daughters attended Bailey Elementary (K-5) as well as my nephew. They all received a great foundation of learning to build on. The staff really cares about the needs of the students as well as the parents. I am very greatful to all of the staff for caring and showing that they do. My nephew's 3rd grade teacher had questions about his reading ability and he was tested and we found out that he was Dyslexic. Everyone stepped up and helped modify and give him special accomidations and now he is a straight A student. Again, thank you Bailey

This is a classic neighborhood school serving hard-working families. Administration is caring, compassionate. Teachers are approachable, easy to work with. One of the best schools I have worked in-there is a real team effort and concern for students.

Bailey has experienced and quality teachers that enrich the learning for the students. The school has afterschool programs such as art and music or others. It also offers an early drop off program that helps working families get an early start each day while providing breakfast if needed. The teachers and other staff are very helpful and friendly to the kids and parents. The school offers academic programs such as the gifted and talented to exceptional students. The teachers always maintain and control the conduct of students to provide the highest level for an educational experience.
