There isn't anything negative I could ever say about Bel Aire. My girls were LOVED from the moment they walked in! They never complained about going to school. They learned so much and had fun while doing it!

no thoughts I wish to share at this particular time, an adjusted review will take place in the coming months.

Bel-Aire began with high hopes and expectations as the perfect beginning in a close knit small town. That feeling was slowly crushed by the principal Donna rhoton. She is a spirit breaker - and it is not I that coin that phrase for her. it is ramped around the halls - by mothers who feel as though they have to spend their day volunteering at the school just to keep an eye on their children . To soften the blows and breaking of souls done by Donna rhoton. I have two children who went to the school and after realizing we were spending all our time and money in emotional therapy, and the administration of the school was the issue, we made the decision to homeschool. Donna rhoton is a bully and rewards bullies. Concider this a fair warning before you decide to move to this school district, that it is detrimental to your family. It is poisionious to the neighborhood and tullahoma a future to have that woman around our children.

I am a stay at home mother of four children, three of which attend Bel Aire. I moved an hour away from my family to have my children attend this school! The teachers are THE BEST and you could not ask for better. No they do not have transportation to and from school, that is a very small price to pay for the education your children will receive! They do have tons of activities and have the parents more involved than any school I have seen. Is that a bad thing? NO..... the kids love their school and have fun there. It is a fact that kids learn more in a fun environment. You can get any better than Bel Aire!!!!!

Bel Aire is a wonderful school. My daughter enjoys going to school everyday. All of the staff are very friendly and they love helping the students learn. They want the children to succeed in life and learn all they can and help them in every way they can.

All 3 of my children have attended Belaire Elementary. All 3 of them have excelled in middle school and high school. The staff makes every parent feel welcome when we visit the school. I can not say the same about other schools in the city. I encourage anybody interested in locating to Tullahoma to contact Mrs. Rhoton, the Principal, and find out exactly what makes Belaire special. The only negative comment I have seen on this rating page comes from a parent that complains that Tullahoma does not have bussing and they don't get out of school when it snows. Is that it? Geez... And they do too many fun activities? Some people you just can't please.

I am not impressed at all with Bel-Aire. They put fun activites before studies. I cannot tell you how many times my children have brought home letters from the principal or teacher saying that their tests were postponed due to some sort of activity. They are constantly having activities. Considering they only scored a 6 out of 10 compared to Robert E. Lee's 9 out of 10. A WARNING TO THOSE OF YOU CONSIDERING MOVING HERE...TULLAHOMA CITY SCHOOLS DO NOT RUN BUSES! And they dont cancel for snow days because they dont have the liability of transporting children.

My child went there for kindergarten and had a wonderful yr. His father was deployed and it seems as if his teacher took the extra time to make him fill that void. The whole staff is amazing and I can only hope my journey in life leads us back to Tullahoma.
