I attended Brandon high school for my junior and senior year. It was the third high school I attended in my four years attending high school due to constant zoning change at first. I thought I wouldn't like it because if it's reputation, but I ended up finding a group in the club that I really connected with and ended up loving the school when I first attended there the fights were really bad and I didn't feel as safe as I did other schools, but once the principals changed to Mrs. Right, the dynamic of the school started to change and there were less fights I take high-level classes like AP and dual enrollment so the fact that they offered AP, AICE, and some dual enrollment classes. I really liked that.

This school is one of the worst middle schools that my child has attended. The teachers talk to the children like they are criminals on the street, they are quick to lock kids out of classrooms, they are not caring or compassionate. Never notify parents when something is going on at the school. They just make their own decisions and not gathering information to make the child feel as if they are protected. The staff looks at all the children the same and not as individuals. Man if someone would talk to your kid like the way the teachers talked to mine they would understand my pain. All I hear is your child is a good kid. If so why are these teacher treating my child like this. As a young girl coming up in this world this school has ruined her interest in education and having trust in teachers and feels she can’t talk because she is misjudged and always being yelled at. This is not the way to build up our future generation. I just know she will not be returning to this school.

I sincerely and highly appreciate the teachers who have worked hard to help my child, but feel the overall policies at the school don’t address the special needs of high functioning autism. It’s like he falls through the cracks because he’s “too normal” for special needs classes, but “too different” for general Ed classes, and it’s frustrating.
