Overall, this school provides great opportunities for student success. However, the school community has areas that need improvement. While many teachers and staff members are welcoming and respectful, some do not treat students with the same level of respect. Additionally, certain staff members unfairly target students based on their "reputation," which creates a negative environment.Another major concern is how staff handle students' phones. I strongly disagree with the way they pressure students into unlocking their devices for inspection. This practice feels like an invasion of privacy, and if i was a parent, I would not want my child's personal information accessed without consent. A more appropriate approach would be for staff to secure the phone while awaiting permission from a parent or guardian. From personal experience, I know that staff members frequently go through students' phones, which is deeply concerning.

Hello I am a student at Classical Center at Brandenburg I am going into 8th grade so it will be my 3rd year here my experience when I was in 6th grade was kind of rough but I understand it was my first year the teachers where enormously nice and welcoming loved it, last year I was in 7th grade I really do recommend to have an emotional resource partner because people are very rude but where just teens the way PTA set up like dances and other activities like really good everyone has so much fun and I enjoy it myself now 8th grade I really don't know how its going to be but if your students wants to be in any electives for 6th grade " GYMNASTICS " is the one I really recommend it because the coaches are really nice and fun there is 2 locker rooms girls and boys, girls share there's with thee girls in dance and the boys don't share they have there owns the coaches go in the locker room but they don't watch the boys change out there is 2 gyms the 2nd gym in split with gymnastics and gym the competition gym really isn't used only for the girls athletics and the Basketball team and there 2 other lockers in there the girls athletic locker do not share and the boys football locker room but I love this school with really good administration fights do happen but have never gotten intense and they take bullying and fights really serious .

The special education teachers were good for my kid. The principal has an attitude and she’s not friendly to parents and students. The leadership is awful based on what my neighbor says. Get new leadership.

It's horrible lunch is bad and the school floor not worth going

Garland high school has great IB program. The teachers are amazing and well qualified. great school. Highly recommended IB program.

I just wanted to say that the school is really not doing great right now. The staff is super rude and unhelpful most of the time. It feels like they don’t care, and it makes the whole place uncomfortable.Also, the school is really messy. The bathrooms are gross, the hallways are dirty, and classrooms don’t look taken care of. It’s not okay for students to be in that kind of environment every day.

This place has gone downhill since Mrs. Bailey and so many good people left. The principal is awful and literally hates kids. It's so sad to see where this school is now compared to how wonderful it was just a few years ago. We are pretty disappointed. I would not recommend this school to anyone anymore.

this school has always been terrible and will always be

Back Elementary has been a disappointing experience in many ways. The atmosphere is far from welcoming, primarily due to the principal's questionable leadership style. Rather than fostering a supportive environment for both students and staff, the principal often resorts to bullying tactics. This creates a culture of fear rather than encouragement, making it difficult for teachers to thrive and for students to feel safe and valued.The lack of communication and support from the administration is glaring. Instead of addressing concerns, the principal seems to dismiss them, which only adds to the frustration. It's disheartening to see how detrimental this leadership is to the school's morale and overall learning environment.

Great technology school and quality teachers in this school.
