St. Bede the Venerable Elementary School in Pasadena, California

“The parents here (majority white) gang up together and give you a nasty look if you're not 'in' with them. You have to chat with them and join in their activities. Not very racially-friendly. Nice kids compared to other schools with bullies. Very good extra curricular activies--dance, chess, theatre, boy/girl scout, etc... Lots of fundraisers. Great pastors. Good social events. Good parent board. Average academics though--dont go here if you want academic excellence; come here for a good social/moral upbringing and that's it. Lots of homework its like nothing is taught--my child comes home knowing nothing and i have to 'reteach' for homework. Nice new and clean facilities. Good safe neighborhood with other schools beside it--what's bad is the traffic in the morning because of all the other schools.”
