A few safety issues. For a long period of time the front door was unlocked at all times, the lock did not work. My main concern is that it is well known that random people not attending the school can come in and walk around for hours without being noticed by staff. I attended for four years and the same sinks that were broken freshman year still did not work senior year. Some staff are great, while others are punitive. Parking spots are also few and far between. There’s also no measurements taken against bullying. I’ve seen students throw drinks at other students in the midst of class and the teachers would not say anything. Pickup at the end of the day is also a nightmare, as parents park in the middle of the road or on the grass to pick up their children, it is an unsafe environment for novice drivers to navigate.

Bryker Woods Elementary is a gem in Austin — and the only IB elementary school in the city!Our family has had a fantastic experience here. The teachers are attentive and supportive, and the school offers a good mix of extracurriculars, including arts, athletics, and a robotics team.Our daughter was behind in reading after the pandemic, and while it took a couple of school years, the teachers worked with her consistently. By 4th grade, she was back on track and is now doing well in reading, math, and science.The principal is a sharp, thoughtful educator who leads the school with a clear vision. You can tell the whole staff is aligned around a high standard of teaching and learning.We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Bryker Woods community.

Probably the most rasist school I'vee put my daughter in she got the door shut in her face while she was going in the building
