I currently have two children attending Bethany at this time.The oldest is in the 8th grade now, he started his middle school years at this school and I am very sad that he will have to leave at the end of this school year. Bethany has helped him in so many ways; once he started here in the 6th grade he has been able to discontinue medication that he supposadly needed to help him focus. The teachers and staff here always go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to the kids. They are quick to learn each childs strengths and weaknesses and work with them not against them. My second child here is in the 6th grade. He had an unforseen mishap early in the year(not at school)and everyone did everything in their power to help all of us through it. When he finally was able to return to school everyone made sure he was well taken care of,and when it was time for him to ride the bus again the principle went out of her way to ride the bus to his pick up spot just to make sure he could get on and off the bus ok. This truly is a wonderful school with extrodinary and exeptional people that really care and I will definately send the rest of my kids to Bethany when the time comes!KUDOS to all of you who make this school stand out above all the rest. And thank yall for caring so much about my kids and our family!
