This has been an amazing school! The teachers and staff are wonderful and the principal is outstanding. This school has a very strong PTO and many PTO funded programs and events. Teachers are well supported. Staff and students are happy there too. We’ve had a very positive experience and highly recommend Bethany Elementary! Close Quote

Principal Rafael Montelongo and his amazing staff run a top notch school where kids and parents and teachers all feel appreciated as they actively participate in pursuit of a positive learning environment. The Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program definitely helps foster more fatherly volunteerism which enhances the feeling safety and security at school. Oregon's premiere elementary school...

I used to go to Bethany in 4th and 5th grade. It was one of the best and friendliest schools I ever went to. I felt like teachers actually cared about what I did, and did their absolute best. I had some of my highest test scores there (where on the OAKS I think I scored about 252), and I made some of my best friends. There's really no school like this one, and I'm not surprised it's better than 99.9% of all other schools. -Wolfgang Stolte Close Quote
