We relocated from Arizona where our oldest attended a top public high school. Our youngest was in many of the AP courses at Brandeis, which was her only saving grace. Our daughter was told by her high school guidance counselor, "just apply to the community college." Our daughter said no, I want to attend Purdue University. She applied and was accepted. I met with the career guidance counselor. I asked what his role was and if he helped students and hosted university visits. Our previous high school hosted dozens of universities all over the country and parents volunteered to be present in the room during these presentations. The director was on the phone with his wife when I arrived and when off the call and during our meeting he stated he had tried to get universities to come but they really didn't have any interest. As parents we did EVERYTHING to support our daughter during her application process at Brandeis. A neighbor's child is participating in a high school collaboration program with a UT Health lab that she found on her own. She said she was the only applicant from Brandeis because nothing was shared from the high school. She came from Health Careers where the school shared about application process. It's appalling that there is little if any exposure and support for students wanting to attend college. Seems the focus is Military and sports. At our previous high school conferences were held (7 minute rotation for each class) where students attended with parents. It was a collaboration and progress update with a growth mindset philosophy of what's going well and goals for improvement. I only met our daughter's teachers at open house where we were lectured to only listen to presentation and not bother teacher's individually. I understand this, however to have zero communication is just pure laziness! Our previous school wanted a career and guidance counselor but didn't have the numbers to support, zero excuses Brandeis, do better!

Our experience has been the best. My children have attended 3 other elementary schools and based on our experience the teachers here are a lot more involved. That goes to show you how much they truly care for each and every student. Mrs farmer the third grade teacher at carnahan has truly exemplified the true meaning of a TEACHER. thanks to her approach and constant communication my child enjoys her class!

I want to move to this side and after reading the reviews! I’ll send my child to another school instead of going to prison. It’s despicable that people have to worry about their children when adults don’t care to help keep them safe. People rather wait for something bad to happen thank be like OH WE SHOULD HAVE DONE BETTER! No thanks I rather find a better school.
