School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>5 7/28/2021I'm not sure what the other review means by no STEM programs...My daughter has had STEAM weekly for 2 years at Bain. Along with Art, Music, Library, and PE. I feel like there is a big focus on sciences and arts along with math and reading. Judging a school during the year of Covid doesn't seem too fair, but I think schools all did the best they could. My daughter has enjoyed her time there so far and we're happy to be able to live in Bain zoning. We moved to the area so she could go to Bain. It's like a free private school education in my opinion. And I'm not sure what the other reviewer means by rich white kids. Yes, there are a lot of white children at Bain. However, in both my daughter's K and 1st-grade classes, there was a diverse mix of students ranging from black, white, Hispanic, Indian, Russian, and so on.1 3/27/2020This school is basically all rich white kids. My son has had nothing but problems with bullying since we moved to this school. He hates it and begs us to move back to where we lived before. The school is overcrowded and there is obviously the only thing that really matters are ratings and test scores. There is no child-based learning programs, or STEM programs at this school. Why on earth hasn't this school caught up with the flexible learning programs that are offered at so many other schools in CMS? Don't send your kids here if you're looking for any sort of diversity or culture.Review Bain Elementary School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
