I am the parent of 2 graduates and 1 current student of Reverend Brown. My children attended public school before Reverend Brown so I can make some comparisons. I feel truly blessed to have had my children be a part of the RB community. The academics are unmatched and the study skills that they have
... Read more acquired gave them the skills to be successful in high school and college. We are thrilled with the new principal because he is open and responsive to our needs. He will be a driving force in the improvements of the school buildings. I am in favor of the discipline (my son is not)and the dress code enforcement. The rules are not that difficult to adhere to. And the rules at RB are only a precursor to Pope John High School if this is their chosen path. (I highly recommend Pope John High School also!). Read less

My parents chose Rev. Brown for their six children. I am continuing the family tradition and currently have my daughters enrolled in this wonderful community centered on the love and devotion to the Lord. My children are gaining valuable tools both academically & spiritually. The self-discipline,
... Read more study habits, pride, sense of belonging, & tolerance are a few of the key values that Rev Brown emphasizes by modeling our Principal, Teachers, Administration & Parent volunteers. I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity for my children to be exposed to such goodness that reinforces my morals and values at home. I have extreme respect for all the dedication, sincerity given to all children from passionate Teachers/Administration and principal. Rev. Brown academically challenges my children to be their own personal best and finds each individual child's gift and allows the child to embrace it. Read less

Rev. Brown has a rigorous academic program with insightful and dedicated teachers. We are a catholic school, and for many parents, the spiritual development of the children is as important as their academic development. Parents at our school dedicate many volunteer hours to fundraising and various

We have a new principal who seems dedicated to the improvement of an already strong curriculum. Many parents are looking forward to the execution of his ideas and are responding positively to his 'open door' policy. Read less

I am a parent of two Rev. Brown students, and I am thrilled with all the aspects of the school except for the lack of a locker room for the students.

Rev. Brown has some excellant teachers and some not so excellant just like any other school. The academics seem to be more challenging than our local school and that is why my children atttend as we are not Catholic. However, they do not have parent teacher conferences which makes it very difficult
... Read more to keep the lines of communication open. Also, a new principal has really made the atmosphere very unpleasant. Splitting hairs over uniform policy and abundant RIDICULOUS detentions have been making everyone on edge and undermining the happy, orderly learning envirnment we were accustom to in previous years. As a result, parent involvement has dropped off substantially and the children are being punished by indoor recess - imposed by the principal. Music, art and sports are at a bare minimum and ususally at the expense of the parents. (i.e. $ 100 spent on art supplies each year.) Proceed with caution. Read less

I am a student of Rev. Brown School and I feel that my school has been turned upsidedown by our new principal. But other wise Rev. Brown is one of the better schools.

Teachers for the most part are very caring, however, there are a few who are into disciplining the children more than teaching them right from wrong. The principal is new to the school this year and has so far (Feb. 2005)left a very negative view in my mind about him. He has turned the school up-side down and is giving detensions for paper work not being signed in less than 24 hours.
