Great experiences with Badger over the years - so happy the new school is up & running because the only drawback used to be the age of the building & campus. BME will start to shine with all the new resources, the kids love the new building, & the campus layout is much more modern & efficient. Teachers & staff have always been helpful & supportive, access to additional services (speech therapy) was straight forward & effective with results. We have been very happy with our kids attending BME. It's nice to finally have it feel comparable to other elementary schools nearby now that it's finally had its turn being rebuilt.

Could not be more pleased with both daughter’s teachers this year. I’ve volunteered in one classroom all year and was impressed with how the teacher handled the wide ability range that Covid has inevitably presented. Both teachers communicated weekly with what was being taught and conferences were well done. In spite of a year at a temporary location while the new building is completed, the PTO has worked to build community as well (which I imagine was a hard task). I’ve had only a few interactions with the principals, but they have been positive experiences. I look forward to sending our third child here next year!

My experience here as a parent was not good. Being left out of the loop on communication is only the tip of the iceberg. Being talked down to, having to listen to my child get labeled with all sorts of unhelpful terms, as well as bandying about diagnoses (of which none of those doing so had credentials to do so), and being outright lied to was far worse. Unless your family can fit a tiny mold of homogeneity, it is likely to not be a good experience.

This is a great school with caring, involved teachers, administrators, and staff. My kids participated in many of the extracurricular activities like orchestra, steel drum band, choir, and chess club.
