Bullying can be an issue for some students, but the counselors work very hard to ensure this is not an issue. Safety if very good here. The school nurse is an average school nurse, but the health resources are above par.

BMES provides top-notch public education. BMES helped develop an effective IEP for our child's ADHD and speech delay, while nourishing his talents for math, reading, and music. Teachers, counsellors, and administrators are all excellent.

I have sent two children through Bells Mill. It is a WONDERFUL school. My children are happy and engaged. There is a strong spirit of community. I don't think I would ever be able to move out of this school cluster because the public schools are so good.
