this school does not take care of their students- especially their special education students. the school district REFUSES to prioritize the wellbeing and safety of the students in this school. i would highly recommend sending your children to any school BUT here.

Such a disrespectful school against disabled kids.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Bester with two kids beginning in kindergarten and going all the way through 5th grade. Do not let the low Great Schools score scare you, this is an awesome school with a very kind and supportive staff. We couldn’t be happier with our experience there!
