Beckley Elementary School
I am very happy with Beckley Elementary. We started my son in preschool and he is currently in 1st grade and I have always felt like he gets the time and attention that he needs. He has had learning problems and all his teachers have been quick to call me or to return my calls regarding issues that arise. The teachers have worked very well with us and are helping to do everything that they can to keep my son caught up with his work and to make sure he understands the classwork. Overall a very good school.
