Bellehaven Elementary is a great school. They promote a strong sense of community and family. The teachers are welcoming of parents and encouraging of student's success. I'm very pleased withbthe quality of education my daughters have recieved so far.

The environment at this school is toxic. Many of the teachers are inexperienced or worse—they have been teaching forever, but have little interest or patience with the children. Rules are arbitrarily enforced, and many of the staff seems unwilling to make any accommadations for students’ individual needs. In addition, we witnessed bullying during the school day and in the after school activities that were not addressed by the supervising adults. We want our kids at a school where they are safe and in a supportive learning environment.

I would have to agree with previous comment The school has really gone down hill Hopefully new leadership will improve moral, increase positive expectations, create effective ways to deal with bullying and decrease gossiping amoung the head of school and administration

The school has gone down hill over the last two years (with a change in Principals. Follow through and communication are lacking. Most of the teachers lack experience. The kids run the school and bullying is prevalant. Our children won't be back!!

My son was part of the Twice Exceptional class at this school this past year and it has made all of the difference in the world for him. He has Asperger Syndrome and struggled at his former private school (Hope Christian School). He was mercilessly bullied by the other children at Hope and made to feel he was not intelligent by the teachers - he dreaded going. Only his fourth grade teacher tried to help him. His 5th grade year at Bellehaven was wonderful. He is confident, happy, and his grades have never been better. I am so grateful for the 2x program at this school. Thank you!!
