This school is one of the worst I have ever encountered. Being poorly ran is an understatement. I have had one issue after another here, and the principal/vice principal do not offer any resolution. My five year old has been ignored many times when asking for help from staff and has caused her to have accidents. Today she came home stating no one would help her open her lunch. Her lunch! Juice was unopened and lunchable was untouched because she couldn’t open it. Not to mention she is almost legally blind in one eye yet passed an eye exam. How is this even possible ? The nurse stated she did not in fact see my daughter and only half of her testing was done which is why she “passed.” They try to pacify you but nothing ever improves. My daughter was being hit on by another student almost everyday, coming home with scratches on her arms as proof. It took multiple attempts to even speak to the principal and even longer for this child to be dealt with.Every instance has been brought to someone’s attention with no improvement. I would pull my kids out of this school if they didn’t ask to stay for their friends. They have been here the past three years and I am sick to think of what else will happen in the coming years.

Bainbridge is a clean, maintained school with a good security policy. It is a Title I school and appears that they stress help for students who are average or below average. Children who are above average get lost in the classroom with such a high percentage of kids needing remedial instruction. The gifted and talented program doesn't do much other than offer worksheets to kids. Bottom line is if your kid is smart don't expect them to get any attention at all. Teachers try but the kid who can't count is going to get help before the bored smart student who wants to learn more. As long as they are quiet the teachers feel they are learning even though its far from the case.
