Beverley Manor Elementary School

We moved our son to this school after a horrible experience in a city school. In three years, he has just taken off. The teachers not only stay up to date with new research, they care about each child as a person. I love how they separate the children by ability. No one gets held back and no one gets left behind. They make learning exciting there. Also, we were happy that our child could attend WRE without feeling like he was doing something wrong. Everyone there is accepted for who they are and what their learning style is. It is like being at a private school without the cost!

I have two boys at this school and I Love the school, the teachers, and the principal! They have helped my child one on one and in many other ways there is no other place I would want my kids to go to school!

I was disappointed in the school overall. My student had a great teacher, but my comfort ended at her classroom. The pressure to participate in Weekly Religious Education was overwhelming, and the program itself if sketchy and makes me worry for the safety of the children. The k-4 grade classes are segregated by 'ability' separating the high achievers from the low achievers in all areas- not just reading... which is an outdated and proven ineffective teaching method. Teachers and principals are much more worried about passing SOL standards than helping individual children. The principal is unfriendly, invisible, and never interacts with the children. I visited the school on several occasions, and there was no effective security in place. Just bad news for an average at best education.

This school does not provide a safe environment for the children. The first year my daughter started here I walked around for about an hour in the school to observe teacher/faculty awareness. I was not wearing a name badge & I visited many secluded areas of the school including backstage & yet I was never asked who I was or if I needed help. I now have 2 children in B.M.E. Along with being unsafe they are unorganized. Last year my children were sent home on the bus despite my request for them to be kept at school. I drove then 10 + miles to pick them up meanwhile they were at home getting off the bus ALL ALONE in an unsafe environment. How can this happen? These are the situations that could result in disappearence. How could they have misplaced my children? This is their job isn't it?

This school provides a good quality education in a safe enviornment. The teachers and administration show a great level of concern for the education of the students and are inovative in getting kids excited about learning.
