Hello I am a student at Classical Center at Brandenburg I am going into 8th grade so it will be my 3rd year here my experience when I was in 6th grade was kind of rough but I understand it was my first year the teachers where enormously nice and welcoming loved it, last year I was in 7th grade I really do recommend to have an emotional resource partner because people are very rude but where just teens the way PTA set up like dances and other activities like really good everyone has so much fun and I enjoy it myself now 8th grade I really don't know how its going to be but if your students wants to be in any electives for 6th grade " GYMNASTICS " is the one I really recommend it because the coaches are really nice and fun there is 2 locker rooms girls and boys, girls share there's with thee girls in dance and the boys don't share they have there owns the coaches go in the locker room but they don't watch the boys change out there is 2 gyms the 2nd gym in split with gymnastics and gym the competition gym really isn't used only for the girls athletics and the Basketball team and there 2 other lockers in there the girls athletic locker do not share and the boys football locker room but I love this school with really good administration fights do happen but have never gotten intense and they take bullying and fights really serious .

There are always fights, some bathrooms don’t work, there is bullying, there have been problems with gas leaks, students have threatened to do bad things against the school, the students far from being exemplary are mean (most of them), they smoke in the bathrooms and I have heard rumors that they even do drugs, the teachers like to give you a dress code for meaningless things like not wearing “the collar of your shirt”, there is also the problem that some teachers seem to simply despise the 8th graders. If I had to rate how seriously they take physical harassment and bullying I would give them a 4/10, they only take you seriously when your parents go to complain, but on their own they don’t pay attention to you no matter how many reports you file. This school ruined my mental health, I suffered several harassments and they didn’t seem to care.

It's horrible lunch is bad and the school floor not worth going

I attended this school, and compared to the other high school I also attended, this school has better everything, although not by much. Still, compared to Sachse, this school falls short in some areas. Still worth more than the 3.2 of my other High School.

I just wanted to say that the school is really not doing great right now. The staff is super rude and unhelpful most of the time. It feels like they don’t care, and it makes the whole place uncomfortable.Also, the school is really messy. The bathrooms are gross, the hallways are dirty, and classrooms don’t look taken care of. It’s not okay for students to be in that kind of environment every day.

this school has always been terrible and will always be

This my sons second year at Toler. My wife and I cannot imagine a better school. The teachers and staff leave nothing to be desired. Everyone works very hard for the kids. Toler has year after year (yes, before our son was attending) ranked among the highest across the board. Do not let anyone discourage you from sending your young ones there. They will be in good hands. My son grew and learned so much with them in just one year it blew us away. We know this year will be just as amazing.

The staff is pretty rude to my child he had said that some of the staff is rude and unfair especially the computer person he had said that he is being targeted and keep getting block from using his computer even when he said he could have free time after a test although some of the teacher is pretty nice to him

My family has been with this school in the Montessori program for five years now, and I recommend it. I can't speak for the traditional half of the school, but we LOVE the Montessori! The teachers are incredible; engaging, understanding, inspiring. Love, love, love, the Montessori. There's very little/no homework because of the MOntessori method. Ocassionally depending on the teacher you'll have "read 20 min a day" type of homework, or a child may be asked to finish some work over the weekend that they hadn't finished during school hours that week. But overall homework is minimal, hallelujah. The campus is hyper-safe. The admin are VERY careful with outsiders, to the point they don't allow afterschool clubs/sports and they don't allow people during the day to eat lunch with their child/visit classrooms/be a "room parent" and help teachers, etc, unless you are on the PTA board, because they are so concerned with keeping the school safe. I love the commitment to safety, but I do wish there were clubs/sports opportunities for the kids. Surely we could find a happy medium. Maybe a parent who was willing to be fingerprinted/background checked could coach? I would love a low-pressure sport or club opportunity. The admin overall is great, and if you are diligent about getting to know them/helping the campus, they are very easy to work with. If the principal doesn't know you, it is harder to work with her and get things done. The Principal is a little grumpy. I've been around her for five years, and I've never had a particularly warm experience with her. I've overheard her speaking harshly to kids. The Vice principal and other office staff are balanced in how they interact with kids. Sometimes warm, sometimes stern; normal. The nurse is particularly warm and inclusive. We've absolutely ADORED all the specials teachers and staff! Overall great school and we've loved our experience. We just wish there were clubs ;)

Great technology school and quality teachers in this school.
