Having 2 kids go through BMES, from Kindergarten all the way through, and one more still there, I couldn't be happier. As a former teacher, I can tell you that they know what they're doing. They have great staff, great systems, and amazing programs.

She cou...

This is a true Elementary School. Many schools are K-8 and over populated to cut down on budget. We love this school for so many reasons. Moved just to be at this school.
