My experience with Bagby Elementary has unfortunately been very disappointing. As a parent, I expect to be treated with respect and fairness when interacting with school staff regarding my child.On multiple occasions, I have felt that the staff has been unnecessarily hostile and dismissive toward me during pickup and general communication. Instead of creating a supportive and neutral environment for both parents, it has often felt like assumptions were made without taking the time to understand the full situation.There have also been situations where my adult daughter attempted to pick up my 11-year-old and was treated in a way that felt unnecessarily difficult and uncomfortable. Rather than working collaboratively with families, the interactions have often felt adversarial.Schools should strive to maintain professionalism and neutrality in co-parenting situations. Every family situation is different, and it is important that staff treat all parents respectfully and communicate clearly rather than creating tension or discomfort.I truly hope Bagby Elementary , Principal Michael Kretsch and his staff work on improving how they handle sensitive family situations and focuses on creating a more respectful and supportive environment for all parents and students.

This school has a hefty track record of staff having higher egos than their care for students. My three siblings and myself have gone to Price, and each one of us has had horrible experiences. Starting from 2013 to the current year 2026, this school has proven that they care more about social status than anything else. During my time at Price, I sought after mental health resources with the support of my parents and staff continuously neglected my needs often times disregarding what I had going on. For one of my siblings, they also sought after mental health resources where, again, we were met with staff that was not understanding and extremely judgmental. My youngest sibling is currently attending this school and seemingly being singled out by staff once again. This is a school and district issue since the school has gone through different staff at each time my siblings and myslef attended. This school has never had a welcoming culture and they do not promote diversity or inclusion. The environment staff, including teachers, creates at this school amplifies the stigma around mental health and lower income students. They do not hold students accountable for bullying based on race, disability, and financial status -- if anything they condone and promote it. The staff here prioritizes wealthy white people while putting the rest of the students on the back burner. Do not subject your child to attending Ida Price Middle School. There are much better schools out there where all children are made a priority.

I am an alumni of Branham (Class of 1991) who had a great experience while attending. Now as a parent in 2025 of a recent high school graduate who attended Branham from 2022-2024, my experience there was horrible, especially with the administration. Barely heard from the teachers unless I reached out. She then transferred to Boynton for junior year and graduated a year ahead of schedule. The staff and a more controlled environment at Boynton were exceptional in comparison. Branham is a hot mess. Not a safe environment and filled with drugs and zero supervision or consequences. I am thrilled to be out of the public school system and disgusted that my kid was used as a test subject during the terrible decline of our public education system. Do not recommend. Two thumbs down. Go elsewhere if you can.
