Bessey Creek Elementary

🍎CELEBRATING EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE🍎 In April, more than 150 Martin County School District students were celebrated for earning a PERFECT score on one or more state assessments in the 2022-2023 school year. Fewer than 1% of students in Florida can say they earned this incredible achievement. Attaining perfection is just one part of a larger story of success, as our students have continued their pursuit of excellence--evident in the recent overall assessment results from the 2023-2024 school year! This progress reflects the dedication of our students, educators, and families. We are incredibly proud and excited to continue this journey toward excellence!
