GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My family is new to Bell Graham and after 6 months I'm not impressed. The school lacks a warm inviting feel for newbies. Terrible parking and utter chaos. On two separate occasions my daughter's teacher was condenscending and showed frustration because login and passwords did not make their way home. One of the administrative assistants in the office NEVER smiles and appears like everyone is a thorn in her side. On one occasion my daughter arrived late (clearly a rough morning) and all 4 staff members starred at us not offering help with a tearful little girl. When I asked where her class was the unpleasant women said, "I don't know". And that was that. Not "I can find out". I look forward to 2020 when my child transfers to middle school. Fox Mill subdivision- this school needs training on how to be genuine, authentic, and helpful without an attitude. I gave it 2 stars because the nurse is wonderful.

We have had a great experience at Bell-Graham. We have two children attending and the school is well maintained and the teachers and principal have been wonderful. We have a child with an IEP and have been blown away by their proactive approach to helping our child.

Our experience with Bell Graham Elementary School has been profoundly disappointing. While a few teachers genuinely care about their students, the school prioritizes standardized test scores and ratings over the education and well-being of the children under its care.Although the school day is long,...

Great teachers who really care about the success of their students. Warm and compassionate, Principal is awesome. She is very involved and a great communicator with both students and parents. Services for students who need academic/emotional support are fantastic!
