Brentwood is such a welcoming place to be- from the moment students arrive on campus until they leave. Each child is seen and valued and they have so many wonderful opportunities. The academic growth is tremendous and students are very aware of the expectations and live up to them or have consequences.

I taught here for a year and this school is a mess. The only students who are getting anything good out of this school are the ones in IB and their experience is totally different than that of the other students. The ESL and SPED programs are not bad, but not great either because of a lack of funding and a lack of people caring about these programs. This is not to say that no one cares, but not enough people do.

I would rate my experience at this school as an intolerable experience I never plan to repeat. My experience was under the former principal (about two years ago), and I can only hope for everyone's sake that things have changed since then. I was a substitute teacher, and was the only one outside in 4 degree weather to get the kids off the bus. No-one so much as said "thank you." I also called them when my car was stuck in the snow (I live in a rural area) to see if they still wanted me to come in, and they said it was no problem, and to come in when I could. Then they immediately called the sub coordinator to complain. The principal and assistant principal consistently conducted themselves like middle school "mean girls" and stomped around self-importantly together. One of their classes was inexcusably rude (not that rudeness is ever excusable), and the principal and assistant principal proceeded to excuse their behavior and berate me, likely rendering their students unemployable if they hold the mindset that you can be rude and disrespectful to authority figures with whom you disagree. It was a horrible place, with the tone set by the administration. The teachers and paras all seemed to be hard working and underappreciated.
