Honestly, it's been the best part of being in Charleston. Knowing that our boys are happy, safe, learning, and well-loved provides such peace of mind. It's a traditional Montessori school, you won't find a tablet in site. There is an abundance of outdoor time, the kids learn life skills, and of course they are taught math, reading, writing, reasoning, history, geography, etc. Kids choose work and learn at their own pace, and the wonderful teachers are trained in how to support them in their journey. I could not have asked for a better early education for my kids.

But after not even a whole week, they wasted dozens of ounces of breast milk and had even went over 6 hours without feeding my daughter on more than one occasion. The neglect and abuse was appalling and the relatively high rating this establishment has achieved is insane- I just hope such awful supervision and care isn't going unnoticed by other parents. Not to mention they continued to deduct money from my account after our daughter was taken out, and it was double the normal amount. Absolutely criminal!

During Covid a lot of kids got into the school (it's lottery admission) that probably didn't need to be there. And some parents don't understand that the school is designed for smarter kids, it won't make them smart. The new Board of Directors and administrators are working hard in helping students find the right schools personal scenarios because this school isn't the right fit for everyone. Unfortunately as a public school, they can't arbitrarily dismiss students like a private can. But if students make good choices and apply themselves, this school offers all they could ever need. Every year there are a few graduate with associates from either CofC or Trident.

If one could properly describe this school to you in full. i would be surprised…read more Let's dive in, shall we? First the overall atmosphere and vibes of the school. Not Good. The school smells like a rancid rat decided to run through with a smoke bomb. The mens and womens bathrooms are always filled with people vaping. I personally have seen many people drunk in the men's restroom. There's a reason I use the gender neutral bathroom! On to the students!! Now obviously not everyone is going to get along with everyone. How ever, I have never seen more carbon copies of the same barbie doll than I have in the halls of Lucy Garrett Beckham.... The lack of respect for teachers and students alike is saddening. The teachers have to parent students on simple issues that shouldn't have been a problem in the first place. We have had a kid jerk off in the bathroom, a child threaten to shoot the school, and minor assault a police officer. And yet the school admin has the audacity to claim that we are doing great. ON TO THE ACADEMICS!! Alrighty, the school tends to push for the students to engage in classes that will render useless to them in the work force!! The staff does not care about what interests you or what you want to study. Only about what classes you need to have to make their school look good in the eyes of the school board. The admin creates bogus rules that no one follows (not even the teachers) because everyone understands how idiotic they are. Now listen there are some pretty great things about this school. For example: "One Lunch", allowing for everyone to have lunch at the same time allows for students to keep their friendships and receive help form teachers. Another great thing are most of the teachers. For the most part they all seem to genuinely care and want you learn and grow as a person. Overall, the teachers? Amazing. The school? Sucky (to say the least). And finally The Students? Disgusting. They are like bugs. If only bugs could look in the mirror and gaslight themselves into believing they had an OUNCE of personality Most days I am embarrassed to call myself a Lucy Beckham "Bengal".

However, this school is one of the best things to happen to our children in a long time (aside from having awesome parents). The teacher to student ratio is very low, so you know that your child is getting the attention that they need. This school is K-8, and tends to attract and serve those families who have children with special needs. Scholarship programs are available as well for families who qualify. A new principal this year is working hard with the school and community to ensure that SJCS becomes more in tune with the community and has done a lot of work to give the school a face lift over the summer. Parent involvement is high and activities are provided after school and on weekends, both for students and parents. Many children use this as a stepping stone to work their way in to local public schools, but several stay all the way through graduation to high school, and alumni often come back to help out in various ways.

She was clear, prepared, prompt, and passionate about justice. Her passion and preparedness gave me strength. I also want to commend Abigail, a brilliant attorney student who brought strength, clarity, and humility to the table. She stood forward, helped her peers, and made a strong impact with her presence and preparation. Together, this team made me feel seen, safe, and powerfully represented.
