my kids go to Bottenfield and we have had nothing short than an amazing experience, the staff is so engaged and everyone knows everyone. i do with there were more holiday programs available for the kids, it was sad that I didn't get to see my kindergarteners do any kind of holiday musical program or anything. other than that i have no complaints, my kids are happy and smart and love their school.

My two kids attended this school. The one in 1st grade was sexually harassed and racially discriminated. The one in kindergarten had autism and never received therapies. The principal never addressed this issue, always being too busy and not having time to talk to me. So I had to take my kids out of school and homeschool them for the rest of the school year.

It will Be my child’s 3rd year here next year and we love bottenfield all the teachers and staff have been exceptional and more than what we expected for our children. Especially with the pandemic the teachers and staff have been amazing and giving the parents the equipment to help them through the year has been easy on us. Thank you bottenfield!

I am very impressed with the school, they emphasize on overall development of the student. For me first is the behavior, respect, honesty then studies and I getting everything I was looking for. Teachers are very involved in their students performance behavioral and academic and maintain transparency. They involve the families in every event, not to forget their PTA is amazing. I love the school.

The teachers and staff at Bottenfield are very dedicated. Parents at the school are very involved. But the enrichment program is weak or non-existent. Sometimes you have a teacher that is so focused on no child left behind that your gifted child spends one year learning nothing. Don't keep your gifted child at Bottenfield waiting for the rest of the class to catch up.
