Bretton Woods is an excellent school. Its teachers are well trained and educated. The school has expectations so that the students will be in good standing with the rest of the nation. I believe that parents should applaud their child's efforts and address their behavior when needed to.

I would only recommend this school if your child is above average in academics. Out of the mouths of more than 1 teacher 'Hauppauge has very high expectations'. My son needs help with reading and they only accept so many kids for 1 on 1 help. I've been told by others my other son is above average. He

Second grade & up only have library once every 2 wks because they say they can't afford to hire another librarian so 1 is shared among all elem. schools. Read less

As a new member of the community, I feel that secretary at the front desk should have gone out of her way to make us feel welcome in our children's new school.

I agree in regard to the young teachers who may be experienced in teaching but not as mothers. Kids are kids and some need some nurturing, some not so much. All in all, I think that Bretton Woods is a really good school. The educational requirements are met, we can at least say we still have art and

My son is in first grade and I can't say enough about the education he is receiving. The reading program, math, and social aspect of school has been a wonderful experience for him. The music, art and gym programs are great and teach them to use their imagination and social skills. The schools has

The security that you have to go through (showing your ID) to pick up your child is great and I have no problem with the staff. I work full time and my child also attends the before and after school program (SCOPE). This environment has friendly staff where home work can be done along with many other activities they provide. I would recommend Bretton Woods Elementary to anyone. Keep up the good work! Read less
