Bell Academy

Let me start off by saying that I graduated from this school in 2012, so things have changed and administration has changed. However, what does NOT change is my horrible three years of experience at this school. After graduating from Bell, I went to a specialized high school and I am now a college student at one of the top 15 nationally ranked universities in the US. However, Bell Academy always found a way to put me and many other bright Asian students into trouble that white kids were able to get away with. Therefore, I must advise parents to stay away from this school. The school teachers always favored white and hispanic students over asian students and the grades and awards were given to white and hispanic students despite better performance on exams by the asian students. I remember teachers threatening students with grades and always screaming at them. The teachers were incompetent as Russell whom I remember as the technology teacher did not even know how to properly use Microsoft word and powerpoint and always ordered the students whom she favored to do her job. The lunch time which served as a hiatus from the dreadful classroom was hampered by the most unprofessional and deplorable lunch room ladies whose job were to scream at the students. Overall, I felt like I was in a jail, always supervised, and was under the supervision of the most incompetent and authoritative teachers. My time at Bell only degraded by learning experience. The people, commenting that this school was like a family, are students who were either white or students whose parent had a good relationship with the administrators, always helping out at school. I do NOT recommend this school and the administration that I was under moved to Veritas Academy, a high school in Flushing. DO NOT send your child there either.

Bell academy is a very excellent school where student, each one of them received a good education and can thrive in their school live.
Starting from principal, assistant principal, and all teachers and support staff, they are very wonderful at what they doing. I'm very fortunate that my two kids can go there and got the foundation that they needed it for H.S.
