My children started going to BBC in October of 2009. This school has been a positive change for them as they love the teachers and really enjoy going everyday. They are doing an excellent job and their grades have improved dramatically. I highly recommend this school to all.
My child is in 4th grade and has gone to this school since Kindergarten. He is gifted and is shipped off to another school for the Excel program once a week. However, a neighbor of mine has a child who needed desperate help with reading and she was put in a special program at BBC and within a year was right up there with all her peers. Amazing improvement! She also needed help with math and they put her in some kind of a program that worked on her large motor skills and hand-eye coordination, which I guess helps work a similar portion of the brain (I think that was the reasoning?). Anyway, my point is, whether gifted or needing support, I have seen it taken care of at BBC. I am very comfortable having my child attend.
My experience has been similar. Children who test well or test below average get the attention they need to be successful. The average child who may be struggling, but needs a little more help can easily get lost in the crowd.
My daughter has attended this school for a couple of months now. She is bright, but has a hard time staying on task and paying attention. Rather then working with me to help address this issue, the teacher is too busy trying to direct a packed classroom, and she falls through the cracks. The average child and children that test really well do great here. Children who have a harder time keeping an interest aren't met half way; rather they're told to hurry up. BBC really needs to address this issue.
This is just a great school! The school teaches kids basic life school - show respect, do your personal best, follow direction, cooperate. They involve the families and have a good volunteer base. While working in the classroom I see an unbelievable amount of education happening. I would recommend this school to anyone. I believe it is just as good as any private school.
