This is my daughter's first year at Bruner and she is doing very well, academically, physically, and socially. She is taking advance courses and maintaining honor roll.

I was not too thrilled with the lack of communication between the school and the parents, but Mr. Spolski has started a monthly newsletter that is mailed to the parents, not given to the child, and it's helped tremendously. I wish 6th graders were given more chances to get into major sports programs. I just think we should start grooming the younger ones to replace the 8th graders when they move on to high school. I'm glad my child kept trying out until she finally made a team, it means alot to her to be a team player. Read less

Bruner, as any school, is only good for those who are already intelligent enough to pass any school in this county. Children with learning issues are not going to get the adequate help they really need at this school. The Okaloosa county school district does not make it a priority for all the schools

That is not good enough. I was not surprised to hear they are dropping art, but I bet they are keeping Spanish. I recommend Meigs, it has special SLD classes. Plus, they have better electives to choose from. However, I recommend homeschooling for children with learning issues.
