During my time at this school, teachers were not enthusiastic about teaching. In fact, their main concerns were meeting test scores. These teachers would often take their frustrations out on students which was extremely unfair. This is not a safe space for children.

I love sending my kids here. They come home, with the brightest stories to tell. The teachers here are also the best people around. I’ve had 4 kids go through bingham so far, and two more to go. Definitely love this place
