It's really easy to be a top performing school when you begin with a base of socio-economic children who are from the privileged elite. The parents are typically over involved and overbearing. I believe it makes the teachers lazy/bored. Who ever designed the car pool lanes and cross walk system should

This was a very great school, but not all the teachers were as friendly as I would want them to be. Personally, the KidzU after school program was very helpful, but the employees were very cranky and their discipline was very poor.

Bransford has been great for my two girls. My oldest took all accelerated classes in middle school after flourishing in this challenging and fun environment. There is a Student Council, Choir, Honor Choir, talent show, holiday music programs, fun run, 4th grade overnight science camp in the spring,

Our teachers are the best, showing character building, confidence and encouragement by example. They are highly skilled and professional people. We also have wonderful parents who volunteer in our library, as grade coordinators (there are 4 classes in each grade.) and room parents. You can find many having lunch with their children and their friends each day. This school is a close knit group, families enjoy spending time with each other socially as well. Read less

I have been very pleased with the education my children receive at BES. The teachers have been very involved with my children's learning process.

I love Bransford, but more importantly, my son loves everyday that he is there! Everyone is involved, all the parents, teachers and kids feel that they have a vested interest in all elements of the class. The children are empowered.
