I have had nothing but positive experiences with BES. My children are loved, the teachers are organized and work hard to make learning fun, the school is clean and my kids have never complained about going to school (except when they are extremely tired and just want to sleep more).

BES is amazing. The staff is really on point. They are encouraging and patient. I love how they gear lessons to each student. Mrs. Reid is making a huge difference as the principal! I moved to Bethlehem based on the recommendations. No regrets!

We spent 6 years at this school (one child k-5 and the other k-4). We had a great 6 years, they worked with my children to help the grow and blossom into young adults. WE all LOVED the teachers and staff.

We moved to Bethlehem for the schools only to be extremely disappointed by BES during my first child's attendance. Happy at the prospect our other two children would attend under a new principal and hopefully a new outlook on education, we have had little to rejoice in. Our children are above grade level in almost every subject and though they are praised on the surface, they are given little motivation to continue developing their skills. Often they are held back in order to allow the other children to "catch up" which is simply not fair. BES should consider implementing more advanced programs for these children who are stagnating in their seats.

Bethlehem Elementary School has made positive improvements since welcoming the new principal. I am happy to see the good things remained and some things that were not so good have improved. I look forward to a great rest of the year and one more year for my little one. He's currently in 4th grade in Ms. Maddox's classroom...Did someone say TEACHER OF THE MILLENIUM????? My husband and I are SO happy that our son got this teacher...you should be so lucky!!!!!!
