We started this school with high hopes from some positive reviews. But our experience has not been the same. When we have had questions, our teacher answers them and is attentive. However, when I have inquired answers from principal or counselors, my concerns are dismissed and not acknowledged. Emails go unanswered. There is a very disruptive child in my daughters class. The librarian cancels library 3-4 times so that class does not get to go to library because of this child's behavior. They have a few teachers on staff that are working towards degrees but have not finished their bachelors yet which I think should not be allowed. In my opinion, there is a lack of leadership on this campus and GISD should be behooved to shake up this campus a bit. But they will not. So avoid due to administration and lack of leadership at the top.

At the time of writing this review I am an 8th grade student enrolled in various classes, such as Principles of Engineering, Varsity (Honors) Band, and Geometry. The content discussed in class is very thorough and is from quality education. However, lessons aren't always engaging, and many teachers just don't know how or don't attempt to control the classroom. Theres always so many people in detention. They also started a "traffic-reducing" system that guess what, created more traffic and accidents. Also, the bathrooms and just about many places are filthy. The school also expects students to supply pencils, tissues, etc... when they should be the ones buying it. Most teachers are good and friendly, but the administration overall has many holes in it. Stepping aside from bashing the school, we recently became an A school, a really impressive feat when looked at from normal education standards in the USA. The elective programs are pretty good, except for football (lose almost every time with 0 points). We have Principles of Engineering, Design, Spanish, French, Professional Communications, and many more extracurricular but valuable classes. Overall, I would recommend this school for its curriculum, prestige, and standards. However, still keep in mind the unsanitary infrastructure, risky social structure, and administration. Everyone is social, but there's always NSFW topics / threats, curses / cusses, dirty talk, and just unspeakable things that even adults shouldn't say, if you talk the way the bad stuff in school is said in, say, church, you would probably be deeply condemned. Just beware. I recommend Austin Academy for Excellence; it is a great school overall. Go eagles!

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 .

There are always fights, some bathrooms don’t work, there is bullying, there have been problems with gas leaks, students have threatened to do bad things against the school, the students far from being exemplary are mean (most of them), they smoke in the bathrooms and I have heard rumors that they even do drugs, the teachers like to give you a dress code for meaningless things like not wearing “the collar of your shirt”, there is also the problem that some teachers seem to simply despise the 8th graders. If I had to rate how seriously they take physical harassment and bullying I would give them a 4/10, they only take you seriously when your parents go to complain, but on their own they don’t pay attention to you no matter how many reports you file. This school ruined my mental health, I suffered several harassments and they didn’t seem to care.

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

I attended this school, and compared to the other high school I also attended, this school has better everything, although not by much. Still, compared to Sachse, this school falls short in some areas. Still worth more than the 3.2 of my other High School.

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.

Even though i'm new to this school, the teachers are all Respectful, they offer lots of help, and they help you work your way up with your speech, I would highly recommend this school, It's great for all kids to learn there.

The best school, all the teachers are excellent, I recommend it 100%.

Great technology school and quality teachers in this school.
