My children have been attending this school for four years now. I have them there as a school of choice. My kids love it there. The problem is that sometimes the teachers don't get the support of the parents. Remember that teachers don't get paid what they deserve but they are there everyday because
... Read more they love what they do. They are there for our children and have the patience and desire to teach. Some parents act like it is the sole responsibility of the teacher to teach. As a parent, we are the first teachers and we are responsible for the way our kids act towards other people. Teachers are there to teach and not be babysitters. We need to support them to better our childrens education. I, as a parent , am always in contact with the teacher. Making sure that school work, homework, and other activities are on track. Read less

I am currently in the process of looking for another school! From the very first day, when the school ambassador told my daughter to know that the teacher is a yeller! Then the teacher herself telling me that she yells to gain control of the students...I was not happy! My daughter was crying one day

I of course went to the princable who moved her to another classroom in an attempt to make things better and well...it didn't work. My child has seen many fist fights to the point of blood, teachers being called awuful names, and the school not doing much about it. For the sake of my child..I have no choice but to leave!

This is my daughter's first year at Brentwood, and despite all of the negative criticism I've heard in the past about this school, it is not bad. The problem with this school is the lack of parent involvement. Parents are not encourage to volunteer at this school they are not turned away. The principal
... Read more Ms. Roberts is very understanding and prompt when it comes to calling you back or scheduling a conference. She promotes voluterissm in her school. Parents need to stop complaining and jump on the bandwagon with other parents that are involved and want to make a difference for the future children of tomorrow. While the city officials pour money into other schools our children are without a gym and must utilize the outdoors for their physical education. Parents pour your time, and soul in your child's education, the teachers and administrators can not do it alone. Read less

My Children have been attending Brentwood Elementary School since 1995. I have six children and the two youngest are now in fourth grade and this has by far been the worst year of education.

I do not like this school. I will attempt to transfer asap or homeschool. Their policy seems in their handbook to be closed to parents, even though they will tell you to your face they want you to be involved. As a new student's parent, I toured the school with an office worker. When I went into a classroom
... Read more of a teacher in my child's grade, she smiled and said hi and that was it. There was no 'Hi! How are you?' She didn't acknowledge my son, ask any questions, etc. I feel there has been no communication about the goals of the year. Although we came in half way through, this is information that I feel I'm having to pry out of the teacher. I never see the principal out and about. I have yet to hear of a PTA. I have been disappointed which only confirmed what I already felt. Read less
