Bethune Elementary School

Posted October 29, 2009

The staff really cares about the students and their families. The principal knows me and my children by name and that is not an easy task in a school with more than 700 students. Bethune really cares about my children learning and they support parents in teaching their children.

Bethune Elementary was a good for my son. He had wonderful 3rd grade teachers, who were especially helpful. I talked with them regularly. The principal is very dedicated. My son will attend again!!

I was completely unsatisfied with Bethune overall. The teachers were not well spoken nor did they have the passion I believe is needed for our students to truely excel. My daughter was not taught adequately. I have seen on numerous occasions teachers and other faculty members act less than becoming in front of children at the school. We as blacks are already lacking curriculum challenges on top of that the teachers there seem to be more focused on a paycheck than actually making a difference in our community. If the teachers dont use proper etiquette how can we expect the children to? Ms. Gwendolyn Miller (principal) should have a sit down with the teachers and evaluate if they are fit for this demanding job. Elementary is one if not the most crucial stage in a childs life what they learn her sticks. My child won't be attending again! Good principal.

My son is going to the 2nd grade this yr and he has had a very positive school experience during both prior yrs. He has had great teachers that really push him to excel. He has been on the principal honor roll since he started, he was the only 1st grader at Bethune to be a finalist at the Mathfest for 2007 and he has been student of the month both yrs at Bethune. In 1st grade, he was doing 2nd and 3rd grade math and he loves to learn. If your child goes to the school with a discipline to learn, they can benefit greatly fronm the school. The teachers that he's had always makes me feel that they have his interest at heart and meets with me whenever I need for them to. They also have scheduled visits for parents to review the children's progress. I'm very pleased!!
