Bessemer City Schools are very considerate and well - managed. This school is an educational institution that provide learning spaces and learning environments for the teaching of students under the direction of teachers.
My experience over the years were okay, alot of the teachers showed they cared about our education and some didnt. The social environment was average, but it would sometimes effect the learning of the students as a distraction, our school isnt the best but you have to make the best of it despite all the negativity and positive energy you will have a decent education. This school could improve on the way the students were taught and the way i was taught especially with the seniors, we didnt have much planned and it was a boring year. We still tried to make the best of it and thats what you have to do at this school make the best of your experiences despite what they give you
My experience within the Bessemer City Schools is a overall good experience. I have been attending the schools in Bessemer since president K, now I'm getting ready to graduate from Bessemer City High. The teachers in each grade I had was awesome teachers, they were there for ever need that I had. What I like most about the Bessemer City Schools is that the facility as a whole had the students best interests at heart. If there was any problems with the students, the teachers did not hesitate to reach out to the parents to get the issues resolved. Parents played a big role in the Bessemer City Schools as well, the parents help in every area possible to make sure the students was getting the education they needed along with the teachers.
