My daughter had a terrible experience at this school. She had mild autism but was very well behaved. Never had tantrums or meltdowns. She was treated unkindly by teachers and staff because she occasionally needed one on assistance in class but other wise was doing fine on standard curriculum. Despite the ill treatment from teachers she still went to school everyday eagerly and with a good attitude. Her I.E.P. team took her off diploma track and put her on certificate track with out my knowledge or consent and with out testing her first to see if she even qualified for it which is illegal. Long story short my daughter ended up having to get a GED after completing 12th grade in hcpss because of what this I.E.P. team did.If you have children in this school, take them out. If that is not possible due to circumstance. take a special education attorney to every I.E.P. meeting with you and have them check your childs records often to make sure no changes have made behind your back.

My 3 children have been at this school and all 3 of them have been bullied in this school ten years apart. Howard County schools in itself have a bullying problem that they are not mastering or controlling. Nothing is done to the child who is the bully. Im in the process of taking my son out of this school and no I would not recommend this school.

I loathe this school with a passion. My daughter has been picked on numerous of times and nothing has been. They are always losing paper work forcing you to have to do double the work. There is no discipline for when students do wrong and the excuse is always that they are short staffed. If a hybrid learning environment would have been created, their would still be shortages but would not be as stressful with so many days on and off. At the end of the day, the schools just wanted the money.

My kids have been at the school for 3 years now, and I have not come across any parents that don't like the school. They try to meet the kids at their level academically. For the most part, the teachers seem happy with their jobs, which leads to teachers that engage their students. I volunteer in the school in a few different capacities, so I get to see what goes on during the day. I am very happy with the school. My kids also are happy to go to school.

My daughter has had a positive experience at this school since she enrolled. The teachers she's encountered have been very helpful and have pushes her academically.

Despite the negative things I said above our experience at BBES has been for the most part positive. It's a title I school with a lot of diversity. This means we have more IEP's and lower test scores, HOWEVER it also means we have more teachers, smaller class size, and more programs to help support both students and families.

My son attends Bollman Bridge and has enjoyed it very much. He is reading on grade level and his math skills are excellent. Upon reading many of these comments, I would urge parents/caregivers to not hedge their experiences on someone else's. The educational experience of each child will be different based on social, emotional and cogitative ability. This also applies to parent/caregiver as well!
