The mission of our school is to ensure that each student is offered a quality education in a safe, caring and orderly environment. We will maximize each student's growth and development through the collaborative efforts of the school, the home, the community, and our business partners, with the ultimate goal of our students becoming productive citizens and future opinioned-leaders. We will accomplish this mission by creating an atmosphere that expects, communicates, and fosters the value of learning and the personal worth of all students, faculty and staff members, and citizens of the community.

Bethune Elementary is a school-wide Title I and Project GRAD (Graduation Really Achieves Dreams) school. Over 98% of our students receive free or reduced lunch. Many initiatives are in place and evolving to meet the needs of the school community as it engages in school reform to increase students' attendance, improve students' performance in language arts, reading, writing and mathematics.

Bethune Elementary School is "a child centered school". Over seventy five percent of the faculty hold advanced degrees. More importantly, the faculty demonstrates an intrinsic motivation to work with students who are considered "at-risk". With business partners such as the Coca-Cola Company, the Georgia Power Company, and various organizations in the school community, along with parents who support our school, we bring fruition to our motto, "a child centered school".
