What people are saying

by a citizen
Sunday, December 10, 2017

Bethune Academy in the worst school in Aldine. It should be closed. Test scores are consistently low. Staff is ineffective and unconcerned about student progress and welfare. The building is filthy except for the front office and it is located in a very dangerous area. Keeping this building open is a total waste of taxpayer dollars. Close Quote
