We really like it. The staff is friendly compassionate and good with parents. Mr. Simpson is a excellent leader and mentor to the kids. My son loves it there and they seem to really enjoy him.

Bainbridge elementary has many issues I believe stem from the current principal. She is aggressive and rude. She discriminates against parents as well as students. I have never had such a terrible experience as the one I have personally had with her. I love the fact that there will be a new principal next year and I hope that the new one will have a spark and love for their job that sadly the current one has apparently lost. The office staff are rude as well, seeming down right snobby. With out any information on an individual they make judgements and I find all of this very troubling. If improvements are not eminent I wouldn't be surprised if the number of home schooled children doesn't increase exponentially!

I went to bainbridge and north put schools and my kids go there now,I have never had a probelm with the school,I've had issues with the bus driver,but my son loves his teacher and all of you that are saying how bad it is my son got held back at his other school and they said he was doing horrible,basically,and now just from this year my son is the best in the class and doing awesome..he feels cared for and his teacher is very nice to him,just because you think its noisy doesnt make it a bad school,its what's gettin taught in the classroom that matters.

Bullying is not taken seriously.There is zero follow up with parents on anything. Transportation to and from on the buses, is long,grueling and wild. Parents are not taken seriously on issue that concern them.I am often payed lip service to go away.

This elementary school is pretty good, but I'm not sure if I would recommend it to somebody. There is ALOT of favoritism for students whose parents are in the school system.
