School Reviews
5 11/2/2018
Both of my children have excelled beyond the children of their same age group from other areas near by. Education is great. Community is great. The school district does a superb job at helping children succeed and prepare for life after school. A large number of children do so well they are able to get full or partial scholarships for the much needed next level of education. Traffic may seem to be a challenge but that is minor for the value of learning and positive environment at the Bethany public school.

The before and after school traffic at this school is an utter ABSOLUTE nightmare. u drop off your kid and better get out of the way of mothers in their SUV they will honk at you, yell at you (and the crossguards too) I always want to make sure that when I drop off my child he makes it into the building, and the traffic situation has only gotten worse and worse over the years, class sizes are not small as they used to be (26 kids in my child's class, it has long lost that private school feel to it. They allow too many out of district kids attend. Damn shame
