“For the 2nd largest elementary school in Baltimore, Beechfield does okay. The teachers are all pretty good, with the exception of a few, but the principals have changed so often that it's hard to keep everyone on the same page. The school lacks discipline and with pre-k through 8th graders, that is extremely important. With yet, another principal this year, we will see what this year has in store. I hope it will be a better one than last year.”

“I think that Beechfield Beavers are high achievers! The teachers are dedicated and work long hours so that the children benefit. Our test scores leave a little to be desired, but the school is making progress. The cafeteria is crazy at times, but the teachers keep things in pretty good order.”

“My three children currently attend this school and I have mixed reviews. For the 4th and 5th graders I think the school band is a great activity to help keep the children motivated! I am also very pleased with Mr. Small - 5th grade teacher! Best Friends and Best Men is also an excellent program. However, I do feel our school lacks the appropriate leadership necessary to really guide the children in the right direction. I am certain we need a new administration!”

“When i was in grades, pre-k, kindergarten, first, and fifth grade i attended Beechfield elementary school. When i attended it was very organized and well put together. The teachers that helped me make it were Mrs. Keysling, Mrs. Brown,Mr. Burley,and Mrs. Jolly. When i was there i had fun while learning at the same time. The school had many fun after school activities and trips. I don't know how the school is now but when i was there my family and i were satisfied and proud of my success. Now i am in eighth grade and i can look back and say thank you to all of those who helped me through.”

“My son is now in the 1st grade at this school and I am going to transfer him at the end of the year. Every year there is another situation that makes me question the authority that is in charge. In Pre-K, the cirriculum was simillar to that of a head start. This school is unorganized, the staff are undereducated, and the security is scarce.”
