Beardslee Elementary School

Linda: Both my children have gone to Beardslee since Kindergarten. THey are both very smart and have been fortunate enough to excel. Now weather that be becuase of genetics or this school, i cant say. I can say that this school is very good in my opinion. Lots of parent information and inclusion, and the staff has been amazing. My kids will both remain at this school through sixth grade no matter what. In my opinion this schools score does not reflect its quality.
