There was stories that circulated between the students where when teachers would tell the students "no" for hours and kind of yell at them for asking to go to the bathroom they would end up peeing on the seats because they couldn't hold it anymore. This happened multiple times. When I was in third grade our teacher would force us to put our water bottles and lunch bags up in this cubby thing. I would not be able to drink water for hours on end because my teacher would yell at me when I would ask. I came home dehydrated and my parents had to meet with the teacher multiple times I think, it was so bad. One day after school I was still there and the football team was practicing. A high school guy fainted and had to be wheeled out on an ambulance bed and I was told it was because of dehydration. I know that the coach kept telling him the same thing my teacher would tell me. Basically mentally abusing us because we asked to drink water. Many people in my class would forget their water bottles and would have to drink out of water that tasted like METAL like really bad and it was boiling hot. Sometimes it would burn their lips it was so hot. Teachers would force us to sit outside on concrete when it was so cold my fingers would go blue and they forced the girls to either wear skirts with strictly only tights underneath or ugly boy pants NO ONE wanted to wear. Also in 3rd grade I was a pretty good writer. I loved writing it was one of the only things that I was gaining confidence from. I showed a paper I wrote to my teacher because she was correcting all of the students papers and she yelled at me telling me my worst subject was spelling and that I'll never be a writer. And then I started crying, and I remember her saying this because it was so traumatizing, something like "I know those are just crocodile tears stop crying, I know you're faking it" I actually think she had something wrong with her. I never really wrote again after that. The teachers got off on reprimanding and having power over the students. There was a special ED kid in my class. Let's just say I wouldn't want my kid being treated that way. Do not under any circumstance send your child to this school ESPECIALLY if they are special ED

Bear Springs has been a great choice for us. The staff is so kind and helpful. There is a real…read more"open door" policy here. The Principal, VP and staff are available and willing to help with any concerns. Students get individual attention and lots of resources both at school and online. This school has a more "hands-on" type learning style compared to public school. Plus, there are so much more opportunities for extracurricular activities such as clubs, sports and field trips. The school really works hard to accommodate parents' schedules. Probably the thing I love most about Bear Springs is student behavior. There is zero-tolerance for bullying and bad behavior. The Principal and VP are very helpful in dealing with any situations. I have noticed that the student atmosphere at Bear Springs is much more accepting and supportive than I've seen at other schools. And the most important part ... my kids love it! They get up happy each morning, ready to go to school.

I was literally about to fall unconscious, because I couldn't breathe (I was literally the only person who had to run). After that she just ignored me. And the lady in the front office I think her name is Sharon, she was trying to take the subs side even tho I could have passed out, I really wonder what that would have done to them. She was also pretty rude to one of my friends when we went back to school after covid, and when we had to wear masks, because his masks fell below his nose and he didn't realized it right away. He had to stand outside for the rest of class, I'm only saying this because the kid right next to him didn't even have his mask on and she just asked him to put it on. (same sub btw)

I did have an issue when registering my child for kinder and we switched him from one Menifee school to another, the lady helping during the time was not the nicest or most helpful which resulted in my child being registered "late" and being shoved into a very inconvenient PM class. Their website is also currently down and being revamped and has been for awhile. Recently dropped off my volunteer live-scan form and the male at the front was really friendly and kind, I believe it's the same person who answered my phone call the other day when I had a couple questions.

I was unable to transfer my child from Bell Mountain MS so chose to home school him to now have him transferred to a charter school driving 8 miles one way. ALL because Menifee school district would not release my son and allow him to attend the Murrieta district school less than 1 mile from my house. I also appealed it and was still denied. Very stressful and upsetting. Never heard anything like it in my life and yet its happened to so many parents in the area and continues to happen. Instead of denying parents the right to send their child to a decent school... you should close down Bell Mountain MS and work on fixing it... along with your Paloma HS. Both are more like prisons and very far from a happy, positive place for kids to learn and grow.
