I'm very happy with my son's experience at Beehive Science & Technology Academy. The teachers are dedicated and genuinely care about each student's growth. My son has become more confident, responsible, and curious about learning--especially in science and technology. The school provides a safe, supportive, and engaging environment that helps students reach their full potential. I appreciate the strong communication between teachers and parents, as well as the many opportunities for enrichment through clubs, field trips, and STEM activities. BSTA has been a wonderful place for my son to learn and thrive! read more

This school is pretty good the teachers are all pretty nice and the students too. The only downside is the school lunch which is absolutely terrible. It is also a very strict dress code for students read more

My daughter has been at Beehive for the last 3.5 years (since the elementary school has opened), and my son just started kindergarten this year. We've been really happy with our experience. Our favorite things are the diverse and supportive community, the problem based learning, the afterschool clubs. read more

Beware! This school is horrible...from elementary, middle school and high school! All levels! From the top...admin..to the teachers. They taut about all their awards, but ask them about their rate of kids that leave! Mrs. Theorine, a math teacher, breast pumps DURING CLASS! well, there are a handful of good teachers there,a majority of them are horrible. Bullying amongst students is rampant! Racism is rampant! So although this school boasts about their diversity, there is definite racism amongst the students and from the teachers towards the students. They also do not have the kids change their clothes for p.e. which is simply unsanitary. That is why they do not provide p.e. uniforms. At the start of the school year, they will make your child brings clothes from home to change into, but after a little while, they stop having the kids change and make them do p.e. exercises outside in the heat with their regular school uniforms on. Disgusting! If you want any more information, or have any direct questions, please feel free to message me and I'll share what I know. read more

Most unorganized place to teach in an elementary school setting. No classroom storage, boards or schedules. Admin is worried about $ coming in and doesnt even offer construction paper. Kids discipline ONLY happens in classroom, no admin help at all. read more

Went here for 6-7 grade, very mixed feelings about this school. Imma keep it short and sweet. The school lunch is if you took burnt plastic and slapped it on a tray. Some of their lunches are bearable, but the rest suuucccck. There's also a very strict dress code. However, I did do a robotics club (FLL), and although it was exhausting we did get to go to Arkansas and New York for competitions. I also did a club called TSA, which I got to go to Orlando for. I did have a lot of great friends and memories at this school, and loved how challenging it is. One of the biggest downsides is that it has a lot of different days off and stuff than the regular public school schedules, which was hard. There are a lot of teachers I hated though. There were a few who were just sometimes mean, but there was one who was horrible. She got fired halfway throughout the year. Honestly, I think I like public school more, and the only reason I'd go here is for a higher, more challenging education. There is a lot of strange kids there. I consider this a quick recap of my 6-7th grade year, and don't know if they've made any changes since I left last year. I'd only recommend if you want smaller class learning or harder, more in depth education. read more

My child has attended since kindergarten, and for the most part, the teachers and staff were wonderful. Our experience this year in second grade has been extremely disappointing and concerning. My son has come home crying multiple times, dreading school. His teacher frequently makes fun of students, even joking about them to others in front of the class. According to my child, most learning is done on iPads with very little actual instruction. It's clear the teacher plays favorites about five students receive consistent support and respect, while others are ignored or mocked. There's a student seated alone at the front of the class with his desk pushed against the whiteboard, that feels more like public shaming than classroom management. Bullying has also been an issue. My child was hit by another student, when I brought this to the vice principals attention, it was brushed off with the excuse that the other child "has learning issues." The vice principal also likes to bring up her personal stuff you are trying to talk about your child. I've tried to address concerns with the vice principal, who seems more focused on defending the school than protecting students. She even laughed while describing a behavioral incident that led to my child's suspension--sending mixed messages about whether she sees my son as a problem or a student she enjoys. The principal does not respond to emails. The vice principal appears to also play favorites, and several staff members act more like disciplinarians than educators. The music teacher openly stated she only enjoys teaching kindergarteners, yet even they were treated poorly. Based on our experience this year, I would strongly caution other families before enrolling their children here. read more

I want to very enthusiastically praise Beehive for being such a unique and wonderful place for special students who are particularly creative, intelligent and curious, quirky and techie... so many of our younger population fit into this category and will be running the world we're living in within the next decade or two... I'm thankful there's such a wonderful place for great young minds to expand, for great young people to collaborate and integrate with other great young people in a student population that offers cultural diversity... all at the same time class sizes are limited so proper attention can be given to all who learn here :-) My son went to another wonderful school similar to Beehive but unfortunately due to some mismanagement in the school's original administration, that school is no more... it only survived about 5 or so years... Beehive has flourished (I'm pretty sure this is accurate) about 18 years now... it was 15 years when we started attending and this is our 3rd year here. What a WONDERFUL collection of educators... yes as they've expanded into including elementary school and kindergarten, they had to staff up an institution literally twice the size of the original, and they've found some amazing folks to fill the ranks... now have there been one or two that haven't worked out... yes, but as with any place of employment, these things are dealt with, administration communicates directly with parents on a regular basis to share updates, actions taken, progress made, etc... and all is handled very responsibly. This is barely a blip on the radar as the environment created at this wonderul, amazing school is such that everyone feels welcome, it's a wonderful and fun community that does lots of really cool things, in addition to just teaching a curriculum... there are countless fun activities at different times of the year, where students get to take part in all the usual neat stuff that school is supposed to offer... they do a wonderful job integrating all that memorable stuff we all have in our family picture albums. If you're read anything in other reviews of concern, please know this school is well established with caring, committed, professional, compassionate and wonderful human beings who care very much about the school itself, the community it creates and provides the students and parents, and the environment they strive to uphold for the students... if there's been a rare hiccup along the way to (literally) doubling the size of the operation... if there's been an issue with a couple of staff members that slipped through the vetting process having some of their own agendas (and I'm going to say... yes... I'm a parent who has experienced this) I want to be painfully clear... such anomalies are not taken lightly and this wonderful administrations acts IMMEDIATELY and responsibly, compassionately, and assuredly, that anything of concern is addressed... and that all can relax and trust that their students are safe, cared for, and are being taught by the best. They work very closely with parents... and I know this isn't easy, as some parents don't want to have to invest too much time, that's the "school's job" to them... all my experiences, this being my third year with a student here (and now, having married, we've added another student of ours to the population here, very confidently so...) there is so much communication, daily at times, via email, we have a special folder capturing it so it doesn't get lost in the mix :-) Mr. Oguz, Mr. Kablan, Ms. Hamilton, Ms. Peterson, Ms Wald and so so many others at the helm of this wonderful, brand new shiny school are to be commended for pulling off such a major expansion of this school from a 6-12 grade institution to a school that covers everything from kindergarten to 12th grade... it's a brand new space remodeled from an old department store that closed, it's absolutely immaculate and shiny brand new, with new technology and room to expand... it's clean, safe, well staffed including counseling resources, everyone has a smile and genuinely cares about students, parents and about nurturing this wonderful new place we have here in the Salt Lake valley... we are fortunate to live near such a wonderful place of education for our kids... for our future. Thank you Beehive!!! BTW I'm in this local area... not San Francisco, not sure why Yelp thinks I'm there... :-) I'm a local and proud Beehive Parent!! read more

New school is very unorganized and favor previous students for certain clubs and classes. They do not work to help accommodate or work with parents. PE teacher in middle school doesn't actually do any Physical activity but makes kids write essays. Test scores have dropped. The school had at some point a good program but they have grown and now are struggling. read more

teachers are rude and mean execpt one teacher mr.d he is the best math teacher, even the best teacher the staff is bad hallways stink students say bad things do bad things the dress code is very poorly made and the "free dress code" that they give us is basiclly you can wear this and this but not this or this or this. It is called a FREE DRESS DAY for a reason. And the food is bad there is milk that is expired from 2021 the "cheese" that they have for the food is gross and it is hard an dry and they are very expensive for everything inculling the food, and now there is a new rule saying 10 trady's is a expllesion like really even your normal school rules are garbage read more

This school and their teachers are amazing. I was struggling with math before, couldn't focus, couldn't really do anything. Now two months later I am doing algebra two, and pre-calculus. How does that even happen. I didn't know anything about Spanish, two months later I can listen in on some conversations and reply. The English classes can be a bit overwhelming but your classmates are always right next to you and help you through it. Geography is more fun than I expected, they have numerous electives, and I have been to many schools throughout my time. And I have to say, this school is the best. We are moving to the old shopco building which will give us a new basketball gym place. And a much more spacious environment. Not to say that the one we are in now is cramped. We have three buildings, a, B, and C. Omit for different things and different classes and they are very short distances away from each other. The lunches are not two Michelin star meals, but they are pretty good. We play soccer outside all the time, and have iPads to do our work on, as to not waste your time writing things down on paper. This school is a fantastic choice for your young ones, and for the older. Don't listen to reviews on here of parents who have no idea of what the school is doing, listen to someone who has been going there, everyone reviewing Beehive Academy will say that it's so bad, smells gross or whatever. But if you want the highest possible education, go to the number one highest scores in math and English in the United States. Beehive Academy. read more
