If you and your children were not born here,or went to school with the schools staff, they will experience PREJUDICE DISCRIMINATION FAVORITISM stay away from B. E. S. and the people who run it. Most of the teachers are great and do their best given what they have to work with. Watchout for the principal and school board they will always side with their home town people.

We were new to BES a couple years ago, but I immediately became involved with the school and found that the school has some excellent teachers. They are working hard to continue to better their test scores and do well with what they have. I also look forward to what Dr. McAbee can do to better the school as well.

my son was in this school for 5 yrs.. they had graduation this week and i was shocked at the things i saw. i thought that favorites in shool had vanished along time ago..the whole thing lasted about 2 hrs. and i know of 4 children who were left out of everything they done. these kids had their hearts broke. i know 1 of them even cried..this is the 5th grade and they even made up rewards for kids and still left these children out..we send them to school to learn and to be accepted...not to have their selfworth be taken from them..in my opinion this school and MOST OF ITS STAFF IS A JOKE
