Sergio Martinez: Bell Gardens High School is a great school. The teachers and staff go out of their way to accomodate student needs. Students come into the school with a multitude of issues, and greatly appreciate staff's dedication to their success. As with many schools, Bell Gardens is a work in progress. If I have to garde the staff and students, I would give it a giant B for BRAVO !!! Keep up the good work and making excellent progress.
